How to Troubleshoot Most Common Canon Printer Problems?

The importance of printers in the digital world cannot be understated even if the digital age focuses on creating a paperless world. We have become so used to hardcopies that we prefer to keep our important documents in hard copies. The other reason can be technical issues of online storage spaces.

We cannot get 100% secure about the files we have saved online. There are file corruption, server down, server crash, traffic load, and other hindrances due to which instant access to important documents is not possible all the time. For situations of emergency, we keep hard copies. And, till these problems exist, the need for printers will exist.

Troubleshoot Most Common Canon Printer Problems:

However, the irony here is printers themselves are not intact from problems. So, here is an attempt to target some common printer issues and their solutions in reference to Canon printers.

Problem 1: Printer not printing.

It is the most common problem. The printer doesn’t show any error message but doesn’t print either.

Solution:

• Check the printer connected via Ethernet cable, USB, or Wi-Fi. Please ensure that the printer is connected to the right network.
• Check printer drivers; re-install them if they are corrupted.
• If these don’t work, consult the user manual or technical expert.

Problem 2: Low Ink Warning

Solution:

Most printers nowadays give a ‘low ink warning’ but this doesn’t mean replacing the cartridge immediately. You only have to be prepared for the replacement.
• Print until the quality becomes low and then replace the cartridge.

Problem 3: Printer is too slow

Solution:

• Printer speed can be boosted by switching to draft mode. However, go for this option only when print quality is not a priority.
• Avoid double sided-printing.

Problem 4: Low quality printed text

Solution:

• Switch off draft mode.
• Make sure the paper type you are using matches with the one set on-screen.
• With laser printers, take out the cartridge and shake it side to side before replacing it. The toner sometimes subsides, this will solve the issue.
• With inkjet printers, clean the nozzle and align the print head.

Problem 5: Printer Jamming. This is another common issue with printers.

Solution:

• Make sure the paper is aligned properly.
• Properly square the stack of paper and don’t over-fill the tray.
