How to Solve Canon Printer Errors

Printer errors can be very frustrating but thankfully are often quite easy to solve and this goes for Canon printer issues too.

Printer error: the Printer is not detected

  1. Check the USB connection between printer and computer and ensure the USB connectors are secured firmly in the ports at both ends
  2. Switch the Printer Off
  3. Unplug the USB cable from both ports and connect again
  4. Switch the Printer back on

If the above troubleshooting steps do not resolve the issue, you need to reinstall the Printer Drivers. Before reinstalling Printer Drivers, delete all unnecessary Printer Drivers by following steps set out below, this will help prevent any conflicts:

Steps to delete unnecessary Printer Drivers

  1. For Windows 8 users – From the Desktop Charms, select Settings > Control Panel > Programs > Programs and Features
  2. From the Program List, select “ABC Drivers” where ABC is the printer model number
  3. Click Uninstall
  4. For Windows 7 and Vista users – Go to Desktop, select Start > Control Panel > Programs > Programs and Features
  5. From the Program List, select “ABC Drivers” where ABC is the printer model number
  6. Restart computer

After uninstalling Drivers, download the latest Drivers from the Canon website or use a Driver Update Tool (see next section) for the Canon printer and install the Drivers.

Printing does not start

Make sure the printer is switched on and the connection between the printer and computer is established (check power and connection cables).

Try switching the USB cable to ensure there is no problem with this cable – by switching both the cable and the USB port you can rule out problems with the hardware, you want to test that the USB cable is working and the USB port is working.

How Do I Install Driver updates?

Windows Update Printer Driver List

To fix your Drivers problems you will need to know the particular model of the Canon device you are having problems with. Once you have the details you can search the Canon website for your drivers and, if available, download and install these drivers.

How do I know if I need to update my Drivers?

If you are unsure of whether or not you need to update your Drivers, or indeed which Drivers may need to be updated, you can run a Drivers scan using a driver update tool (you will need to pay to register this tool but usually the Drivers scan is free). This will allow you to assess your Driver needs without any commitment. Alternatively, you can use the device manager to check if there are problems with any of your hardware devices.

Can I update the Drivers myself?

In many cases the answer to this is yes, however in some cases the manufacturers no longer make the Drivers available so you need to use a Driver Update Tool to install the missing Drivers. The purpose of such as tool is to save you time and effort by automatically downloading and updating the Drivers for you.

How will a Driver Update Tool fix my Canon Printer Drivers?

A Driver Update Program will instantly resolve your drivers problems by scanning your PC for outdated, missing or corrupt drivers, which it then automatically updates to the most compatible version.

Why should I download Driver Update Software?

Apart from updating your Canon Printer Drivers, installing a Driver Update Tool gives:

  • Up to 3 times faster internet connection and download speeds
  • Better PC performance for games and audio applications
  • Smooth-running of all your PC devices such as printers, scanners etc.
  • Better all-round performance of your PC due to automatic driver updates which will keep all your devices and your PC in top condition

Update Printer Driver Windows 10

Customers ask from time to time how they can pull down driver files that they see on the Windows Update site individually without the need to use the Windows Update Agent internally within Windows. This can be done using the Windows Update Catalog site located here: http://catalog.update.microsoft.com/v7/site/Home.aspx

You can use the site to pull down not only driver files on Windows Update but individual hotfixes as well. For drivers, I have found that there are two methods that are effective. The first is to try to use the manufacturer and model name of the device that you’re looking for. This works a good amount of the time but it will depend on how the driver is actually listed on the Windows Update Catalog as to whether or not you would get a good result. For example, a co-worker of mine was looking for a driver recently for his Belkin wireless NIC. Unfortunately, they didn’t have the device name so searching for this by manufacturer yields the following result:

As you can see from the screencap (hopefully), there are hundreds of drivers listed for Belkin wireless devices. So, what’s a better way to narrow this down? Use the PNP ID for the device. You can find this in the WindowsINFsetupapi.dev.log on Windows Vista and Windows 7 based installations. In this case, the PNP ID was prefixed with USBVID_050D&PID_945A. So, searching for this, we get the following:

So, this narrows the results from hundreds to tens, and we can further eliminate devices based on the OS we’re looking to find information about. Many people don’t even know about the Download Center, let alone that you can utilize the PNP IDs of devices to find the drivers for those devices.

Well now you know
