Will not print. says printer not responding

Have a look at your printer software settings. You may have it set to black and white only. There may also be a driver that was missed during installation to allow colour printing. Try reinstalling the software.

You need to download and update the printer software ... Visit the Canon site and navigate to software/product updates ...
Download and install and you will have no problems ...
Be sure to enter correct product details ...

I received this message when I was trying to print a pdf file. I attempted messing with the positioning of green paper guide to no avail. My co-worker suggested I uncheck the Choose paper source by PDF page size box on the Print pop-up box. This did the trick.

1. Power off your printer.
2. Use both hands to lift up the scanner unit until the scanner support holds it open.
3. Turn the printer on. The print cartridge carrier moves and stops at the loading position, unless the printer is busy.
4. Remove the color print cartridge.
5. Lower the scanner unit until it is completely closed.
6. If the error message reappears, replace the black print cartridge with a new print cartridge.
   If it does not repeat steps 1-3 and then go to step 7.
7. Reinstall the color cartridge and remove the black print cartridge.
8. Lower the scanner unit until it is completely closed.
9. If the error message occurs again, replace the color cartridge.
10. If an error message reappears, repeat steps 1-3 and reinstall both print cartridges.

Hope this helps.

1. Lower the scanner unit until it is completely closed.
2. If you receive the error message again, replace both cartridges.

I had the same problem and it was print spooler on computer.
Check that.

I've had this problem too. The only way to make the message go away is to buy the ink from Dell. Although generic ink cartriges will work the printer will not/can not reset the "low ink" message unless you buy the cartriges directly from Dell. So you can use another brand, but you'll just have to overide the low ink message when it pops up by telling it to continue printing. Then you can tell when the ink is low by seeing it when it prints out.

is this a printer issue or a car multimedia one?

my printer is not doing anything. It pops up " cannot communicate with printer." please tell me what I can do. I have tried everything I know.

What application were you trying to print from at the time. Does the printer give this error message all the time or only from this program? I need this info to assist you bzoe...lilacgerry
