Why do I keep getting little print out papers stating no host? (Star Micronics printer)

[Jasmine17]

Can anyone tell me why I keep getting little print out papers stating no host? The blue light flickers and a message prints that just says No Host. Over the weekend it can use a half a roll of printer paper. Please help.

@Jasimine17 I haven't seen this issue before here in the Community! But it sounds like your ethernet printer is having trouble connecting to your network. These printer troubleshooting steps should help. Another suggestion I found that isn't listed in that article is to try a different ethernet cable.

that happens when the printer can't connect to the router as Helen said.  That is a built-in part of the printer that prints out the receipt.  I feel like it must be connecting and disconnecting because I thought it only printed out the first time it disconnects and not over and over.
