Why would my Canon IP4000 Printer stop printing documents; however, it will print perfectly if I use the PRINTER PREFERENCES test printing (Windows7)?

Hello,
It may be problem in print head or purge unit, bzt first did you try with print head cleaning under printer properties/preferences?Try few times, if not, remove ink crg., remove print head, take lint free clotch and moisture it with destilled water and put the print head on it few minits, then dry it with anoter lint free cloth.Put it back in and repeat the head cleaning and nozzle check.

If not helpfull replace print head and purge unit with absoerber

Hi, make sure if the pdf you can't print is restricted by owner password which prevents you from copying, editing and printing pdf files. User a pdf password remover to remove pdf password. AnyBizSoft has a product like this.

It could be a few different things but letys try the easiest first. Go into control pane/jprinters/ and do a deep nozzel cleaning. leave the printer idle for about a hour or two before trying to print again. You may have to repleat this procedure. If this does not fix your problem it could mean that you need to update a driver for your printer or that you have changed your colour settings in a graphic program such as adobe. Failing all else you may just need brand new cartridges. I have a canon i860 and found a very inexpensive site online to order the cartridges for a few dollars each. even if you don't need the cartridges right now check out the site and stock up.

My Canon Primax ip4000 has stopped printing blue. I've tried deep cleaning and when I print a test page the blue 6c does not appear. Any ideas what the problem could be?

Print a test pattern print first to make sure that the problems is the printer and not the file you are trying to print , then check you color cartridge if it's empty.

Hi there,

First things to do is check the Printing Preferences of your Printer if it has a pending printing jobe to do, there you can able to cancel and stop the printer to print.

1. Go to Control Panel
2. Select Printer & Faxes icon
3. Right click on the printer you are using
4. and the Select Printer Preferences.
5. Select and right click if you see any pending document,
6. click cancel.

Hope this helps.

It must be a coloring setting in the printer.

you are probably missing the bidirectional support setting in the print server...some printers simply cannot be print served and this may in fact be one.
