✅ Step 1: Check Power and Basic Status
Before digging into settings:
- Make sure your Canon printer is turned on. Look for power lights or an active display panel.
- If it has an LCD, check for any error messages or blinking lights. Resolve any warnings (like low ink or paper out) first.
- Ensure the printer has enough paper loaded in the tray and that it’s properly aligned.
✅ Step 2: Inspect Ink or Toner Cartridges
A common cause of printing problems is low or empty ink:
- Open the printer cover and check the ink or toner levels. Many Canon printers have a display panel showing ink status.
- Replace any empty cartridges if needed.
- For inkjet printers, run a nozzle check and print head cleaning via the Canon maintenance tools in the printer driver or control panel.
✅ Step 3: Clear Any Paper Jams
Paper jams often silently stop printing:
- Power off the printer and unplug it for safety.

- Gently remove any stuck paper. Look inside the rear tray and output slot too — sometimes tiny scraps hide inside.

✅ Step 4: Check Your Connection
Printing problems often come down to connection issues:
For USB or Wired Printers:
- Make sure the USB cable is securely plugged into both the printer and your computer.
- Try a different USB port.
- Avoid using USB hubs; plug directly into the computer.
For Wi-Fi Printers:
- Ensure the printer is connected to the same Wi-Fi network as your computer or mobile device.
- On the printer’s screen or by using the Wi-Fi button, reconnect to your wireless network if needed.
- If your network password has changed recently, you’ll need to update it on the printer.
