Common Reasons Why Your Canon Printer Is Not Printing​

Before jumping into fixes, it’s helpful to know the usual culprits behind a non-printing Canon printer +1-801-878-6858:

Empty ink or toner cartridges: Even if you think you have ink left, a nearly empty cartridge can prevent printing.
Paper jams: Small pieces of paper stuck in the tray or rollers block new pages from feeding.
Connection problems: The printer isn’t properly connected to your computer or Wi-Fi.
Printer set offline: Windows or macOS might have your Canon printer set to “offline” +1-801-878-6858 mode.
Pending print jobs: A stuck or corrupted print job in the queue can block new prints.
Outdated or corrupted drivers: Old drivers can stop your printer from communicating with your computer.
Wrong printer selected: If you have more than one printer installed, you might be sending the print job to the wrong device.
Firmware issues: Occasionally, an outdated printer firmware can cause printing to fail.

Identifying the cause will help you apply the right fix faster.

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.
• Open all accessible doors, trays, and covers.
• Gently remove any stuck paper. Look inside the rear tray and output slot too — sometimes tiny scraps hide inside.
• Close everything securely, plug the printer back in, and turn it on.

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.
