    My printer just quit printing. Get an error msg. that says collecting printer status. Cleared out my queue and no luck. I have another printer on the network and same thing happens when I try to print with it. All connections are good and the printer is online. Just tried to update Cannon drivers and they are current. Appreciate any suggestions.

You need to reset the chip in the cartridge that tells the printer when it's low. The part can be found on sites that sell refill kits.

2. Right-click the printer whose job you want to cancel, and select See what's printing from the context menu.

3. The print queue will pop up. Right-click the runaway print job, and then click Cancel from the context menu.

hope this helps

Why is the light flashing on the right side
If the light flashing is the "light bulb like button" or the "Ready/Light" button, it means that either the printer is:

• The printer is busy receiving and processing data or printing.
• The printer is printing a directory, font list, menu settings pages, or Print Quality Test Pages.


If it's Busy:
• Wait for the message to clear.
• Press and release Cancel to cancel the print job.
• Press and hold Cancel to reset the printer.


If it's printing a directory, a font list, menu settings pages, or Print Quality Test Pages:
• Wait for the pages to print. The Busy message is displayed as the pages print. The Ready light is on when the
printing stops.
• Press and release Cancel to cancel printing.
• Press and hold Cancel to reset the printer.

Doesn’t sound like your are making it into service mode, make sure the inner door is all the way up, make sure the top is closed, make sure both feeders have paper in them, make sure to turn off the power but do not unplug it. Start by pressing the stop/reset button first and then power button.

I tried to cancel printing jobs once in progress and had no succe
Printers will hold the documents in the memory of the printer. Windows holds the documents until they are received by the printer.
Go to the printer and cancel the job, then open the printer by double clicking on it in Printer and Faxes (if in XP) and cancel the document from the menu while the document is highlighted. (document, cancel)
A trick I have used is to remove the paper from the printer, wait until the last sheet is printed and turn off the printer. Windows will pop up with an error that includes cancel the print job.

1: reseat (take out and put back in) the cartridges into place
2: buy another black cartridge just to check if it will be recognized by the printer, if it does recognize it we know the cartridge is defective. If a new cartridge is also not recognize, start to check your warranty option with the manufacturer...
