The prompt · ChatGPT

Help me fix a printer that won't print.

Printer: [make if known]
Symptom: [offline / jam / blank / queue stuck]
Connection: [USB / Wi-Fi]
Computer or phone trying to print: [details]
What I've tried: [list]

Ask me up to 3 short questions first if anything important is missing. Wait for my answers.

Then:
1. Checks in a safe order.
2. Queue and connection fixes.
3. When to use the maker's support page.
4. When it's toner/hardware not software.

Only use what I've told you, leave blanks for anything I haven't given, and don't invent facts, steps or official URLs you're not sure of. UK English.

Stay in this ChatGPT chat. Do not turn on apps or connectors, and do not use memory from another chat.

A short example

Fill the blanks, then paste. make if known: a short note you already have. offline / jam / blank / queue stuck: a short note you already have. Leave the rest of the prompt as written.
