printer error to fix by Luigi Rosa |
Check the USB printer cable
This is the first step you should do when the printer from the computer is still not recognized as part due for direct computer where the printer is connected via the USB cable, a way to know if this really is the problem is connecting the printer with another USB cable or using the USB cable to connect another printer that is already working well.
Check the power electricity cable
It is possible that if this is not connected properly to the printer, this can not be recognized by the computer, so we need to do the same procedure with the USB cable, eliminating the possibilities comes first, we can also consider making a push cable stronger.
In some cases the problem regarding power usually lies in the electrical connector located in the wall of the house.
The printer is turned on
If when you connect the printer to the computer, although the USB cable is working properly and the power adapter cord, will have problems if the printer is not on, we need to verify before sending to print if the printer is "ready to print and in perfect state"...
Check that the drivers you downloaded from the Internet are correct
Download the correct printer drivers is a fundamental part of the operation of the printer, you might just give the files to the printer operation and the process of communication between the printer and computer.
Verify that the drivers you have are compatible with your computer or if they are really relevant to that printer, you can check download the appropriate drivers from the official website of the manufacturer using our publication on how to download drivers Canon printers.
Disconnect any USB memory connected near the port of the printer
This does not usually occur very often, but I have personally seen cases like this, for the simple fact of having a USB memory connected the computer is not working perfectly, even more if it is connected near the port where the printer is connected.
Possible solution if no solution to the above recommendations
Contact customer service manufacturer of the printer, this may not have a solution and need to make a warranty request.
