How to Diagnose Canon Printer Problems

Canon is one of the largest manufacturers of printers and copiers for home and office use. Canon printers come in several types and models, including laser, inkjet, photo and the very popular all-in-one printers that copy, scan, print and fax. As with all technical equipment, printers can misbehave. Follow the steps below to diagnose Canon printer problems

    General Issues

Check for a paper jam. Paper jams occur when one or more sheets of paper become stuck in the feeding or printing mechanism. Gently remove any jammed paper and reset the printer.

Check ink levels. Those ink cartridges run out fast. If your printer looks like it is printing but nothing comes out on the page, you might be out of ink. Try replacing the cartridge and printing again.

          Canon-Specific Issues

Check printer drivers. Navigate to "Control Panel > Printers > Right Click > Properties > Update Driver" to check for a new driver for your printer. You can also find drivers and software on the Canon Support site (see Resources).

Resolve the Waste Ink Error. Press menu on the printer and press scan/copy to enter service more. Press the right arrow to access "NVRAM." Set ABS-M level to 0. Set ABS-P level to 0. Press "Stop" to exit.

Why Does My Canon Multipass Printer Print Boxes Instead of Text?

The problem of a Canon Multipass printing only boxes is not uncommon. This issue actually can be seen on any printer, particularly older ones, and also will sometimes manifest in nonsense characters instead of just boxes.

Driver Issues

The most common reason for this problem is an incorrect or outdated print driver, which can be corrected easily by downloading the newest driver from the Canon website.

Spooler Issues

Sometimes the print spooler can become overwhelmed and lose track of jobs, causing nonsense printouts. This can be fixed by turning the printer off and then unplugging the connection to the computer for 30 seconds.

Memory Overload

Many printers (particularly older ones) have very little memory and are easily overloaded. Avoid this by limiting the amount of pages you send to your printer at once

How to Hook Up a Printer to a LAN & USB at the Same Time

Most printers currently produced have multiple methods of connecting to computer systems. Some of these methods include a USB data cable and a LAN cable. LAN is an Ethernet-based cable connection that is usually used for networks and Internet connections. However, it is also possible to stream the printer request information from the connected computer to the printer if you want to keep the USB ports open or if you want to hook up the printer to a local network so multiple computers have access to the printer.

Instructions

1 Insert the USB data cable into the USB port on the back of the printer.

2 Plug the other end of the USB cable into a USB port on the computer system.

3 Attach the LAN cable (Ethernet cable) into the LAN connection port on the rear of the printer. Make sure the printer has this connection. If there is no LAN cable connection you are unable to hook up the printer through this method.

4 Connect the opposite end of the LAN cable into either a network LAN port on the computer, or an "In" connection on the network hub you have multiple computers connected to.

How to Connect a Printer using Bluetooth

Bluetooth is a powerful wireless technology that lets your computer discover and share devices. Connecting a printer using Bluetooth is simple.

Instructions

1 Make sure your printer is Bluetooth enabled. Some printers come this way (read the manual to verify) but others require adapters. Shop online or visit an electronics store to find an inexpensive Bluetooth printer adapter.


2 Set up your adapter. All you need do is connect one end to your computer and the other end to your printer and it will install itself.


3 Turn on the printer. Make sure it is connected to a working electrical outlet and the printer power is on correctly.


4 Open Bluetooth devices on your PC. After installing your Bluetooth adapter, go to the control panel and open "Bluetooth Devices."


5 Add printer automatically. This is less secure, but easier. From the options tab, make sure the options "Turn discover on" and "Allow Bluetooth devices to connect to this computer" are checked. Your printer and computer should then find each other automatically and begin working. If you'd rather not let other devices discover your computer, follow steps 6 and 7 instead.
