Printer is not responding:

Instructions for this can usually be found in the printer manual. Check the printing settings on your computer to make sure they match the type and quality of paper you are using.
Jammed Paper:
Open the printer cover and carefully remove the jammed paper. Make sure you use the correct size and type of paper. Check if there are any obstructions inside the printer that might be causing the jam.

If the printer makes unusual noises, turn it off and unplug it. Check whether there are any foreign objects or obstructions inside the printer. Make sure the paper is loaded correctly in the tray.
Blank Pages or Partial Printing:
If your printer only prints blank pages or prints partially, this may be caused by a connection problem or a damaged print job. Check the print queue on your computer and cancel pending print jobs. Restart your computer and try printing again.
Driver Issues:
Make sure you have installed the correct and latest printer driver on your computer. You can usually download the latest drivers from Canon's website. Uninstall the existing driver and reinstall it to resolve driver related issues.
Network Printing Problems (if applicable):
If you are using the printer over a network, check the network connection and make sure the printer is properly configured on the network. Reboot the router and printer to refresh the network connection.
