Canon: printer doesn't print - it could be because of that

If you have any problems with your Canon printer, we will tell you the reasons why the device is not printing. Depending on whether the printer is not responding, the pages are not printing correctly, or whether you receive an error message, the approaches differ.

Canon printer does not print pages correctly

If you can run the print job but see streaks or no ink on the paper, we will show you possible troubleshooting in the following section.

• First, check if the cartridges have enough ink or if they are already dry. This happens if they haven't used you for a long time.
• If the printer puts streaks on the paper, it is worth cleaning the printhead of the Canon printer. This is also recommended if the printer does not print at all, but only pulls in the paper and releases it empty.
• You can often perform automatic cleaning using the supplied software.
• Also, be sure to use Canon original ink.

Canon printer does not respond: these are the causes

If your Canon device does not print at all, we will show you possible solutions.

1. Test the printer's USB connection and power connector to make sure you have a connection. Restart your computer and printer.
2. If you have reinstalled the Canon printer and have not been able to print a single page, you should use the correct printer drivers. Check whether your operating system is compatible with the device.
3. Set up the printer with the correct drivers and try printing a test page.
4. If this is not successful, you will find a new printer in our price comparison. If the printer is not under warranty and the software, ink and printhead are working, a new printer is often cheaper than a repair.

If you receive an error message, you will usually find a solution in the relevant operating instructions for the device.
