My canon printer mp250 connected to my laptop but when I try to print it says printer is paused ?

Go to System Preferences > Hardware > Print & Scan > click on add printer or scanner. Now let the OS search for printer under Default tab.
If it finds your MP250, great. Proceed with adding and delete the old MP250 printer in the list.

Try to stick with original cartridges... Generics only waists time and money

Press START - Control Panel - Printers and Faxes - double-click Printers and Faxes. Perform checks on:

1. The printer must be in a position Set as Default Printer (see picture)
2. Status = Ready (see picture)
3. Docs = 0. If there is a number 1 or 2 or 3, cancel all the print command, by the way: double-click the Canon MP250 Printer series - click Printer - click Cancel All Documents
4. The printer must be in a position online (see picture)

Hi,
Does the printer power up?If not,check the power cable or probably replace it.
If it does power up,disconnect everything including the usb connections and also turn off your PC.
Wait a while and then re-connect them all.Start the PC first and then turn on the printer.
Now try printing.If still cant print:-

• You might have run out of ink.Check the cartridges and replace any dry ones.
• Check for paper jams on the paper paths and manually remove any stuck papers.

Hope this helps.Thanks!

Clear pause printing

1. From the Windows Desktop, select Start , Settings , and Printers .
2. Right-click the HP LaserJet printer icon that is being used.
3. Select the Work Offline or Pause Printing option (if enabled) to remove the check.
4. Print the document again.

Establish parallel connection

1. Turn off the printer or remove the printer from the network.
2. Connect the printer to the PC using a parallel cable.
3. Power on the printer.
4. Print the document again. NOTE: If the User Intervention Required message reappears, disable or remove any HP LaserJet software utilities loaded on the system (for example, Status Window, HP Toolbox, etc.). Prove printer functionality and troubleshoot communications; try printing again.

Uninstall and reinstall the driver After performing a cold reset on a product installed with USB, a higher DOT4_00x port is created, causing the printer to hang while printing. NOTE: This is required with products installed on a USB port only.

1. Uninstall the USB printer driver.
2. Remove the HP folder and AIO folder from the hard drive.
3. Reinstall the USB printer driver.

CAUSE: This error can occur if when using a network or printing from a laptop. When the print job goes into a pending status, the printer is either in Work Offline or Pause Printing mode. Hope this helps. Please rate my response.
Thanks.
Have a good day.
