Method 1: Do some basic troubleshooting
Your Canon printer may not be connected to your connection
properly. So, it’s worth checking the connection of your printer.
If you are using a
USB cable to connect your printer:
·
Check if the cable is properly
connected. If it isn’t, reconnect the cable and make sure they are properly
seated into the ports on both your printer and your computer.
·
Connect your printer directly to your
computer without using a hub.
·
Try connecting the cable to another USB
port on your computer and see if this works for you.
·
You may also need to experiment with
another cable and see if there is any problem with the cable you’re using.
If you are using a
network printer:
·
Check your network connection as well
as your network devices like your router and modem.
·
View the network connection status of
your printer and see if your printer is properly connected to the network.
·
Reconnect or replace your network cable
when necessary if your printer is using wired connection.
·
For wireless printer, try reconnecting
your printer to your home or work network.
You may need to consult your printer manual for instructions
when reconnecting your network printer.
