If your printer is showing a yellow light warning and is not printing, it typically indicates that there is an issue that needs attention. Here are some general troubleshooting steps you can try to resolve the problem:

Check the printer documentation: Consult the printer's user manual or documentation to understand the meaning of the yellow light warning. Different printers have different indicator lights and error codes, so the specific cause of the warning can vary.

Check ink or toner levels: If your printer uses ink cartridges or toner cartridges, check the levels to ensure they are not empty or low. Replace any empty or low cartridges with new ones or refill them if applicable.

Clear paper jams: Paper jams can often cause warning lights to appear on printers. Open the printer's access panels and carefully remove any jammed paper. Make sure there are no small pieces of paper left inside the printer that may trigger the warning light.
