Fix 1: Update your printer driver

When something goes wrong with your Canon printer, updating its driver should always be your go-to option. Most printer issues, such as blank page printing, error code messages, and printer not responding, are often caused by a faulty printer driver.

There are two ways you can update your printer driver:

Option 1 – Download and install the driver manually

Canon keeps updating printer drivers. Here’s how to get the latest correct one for your device:

1) Go to the Canon support website , then clickSUPPORT > SOFTWARE & DRIVERS .

2) Enter the name of the serial number of your Canon product and search for it.

4) Once you’ve downloaded the correct driver for your system, double-click on the downloaded file and follow the on-screen instructions to install the driver.

You’ll need some computer skills and patience to update your driver this way, because you need to find exactly the right driver online, download it and install it step by step.
