Hi,

You can download the software from manufacturer's support website by clicking this link

On the page which opens, select the operating system of your computer (Windows XP/ Vista..) from the drop-down menu (See attached image).

Then download and install the required drivers and software.

The list of available software and drivers will load only after selecting the operating system of the computer.

Hope this solves your problem. Thanks for using FixYa.

Try a nozzle check and head clean from the driver on your computer.
If this does not work, try switching the black cartridge.

Set your printing setting as Default Settings.

Use the Canon software to check the ink-levels in the COLOUR cartridge. If empty, replace it.

Use the Canon software to run a few "print-head-cleaning" cycles, to unclog any ink-jets that are not spraying ink onto the paper.

If you mean the counter of the cartridge, just installing another new with chips or one compatible with chips.

You should right click your printer in printers and faxes, select properties. Now go to the maintenance tab and run both cleaning and deep cleaning twice. That should fix the problem. Good Luck !

The following may work: remove all the ink supplies. Remove the printhead and soak it for about 5 minutes in 0.5" of very hot water. Gently blot the printhead on a soft damp paper towel to remove the excess water, then replace in the printer and then reinstall the ink supplies.

Make sure the ink jet cartridges are new and fresh and genuine Canon cartridges. Then, make sure that the plastic tape is removed from the nozzles.

Follow these steps to reset the printer:

1. Turn the printer off with the Power button (if available).

2. Disconnect the data cable from the printer (not applicable to WiFi, Bluetooth or Infrared) .

3. Unplug the printer's power cord for approximately 10 minutes, and then plug it back in. If troubleshooting a communication issue, reconnect the data cable (not applicable to WiFi, Bluetooth or Infrared).

4.

make sure the paper side isnt jamed with trash blow it out with air in can.

This printer has an ink absorber that takes in ink during the printing and print head cleaning processes. The cleaning process is necessary in order to keep the print head nozzles from becoming clogged. Over the life of the printer, the amount of ink that the ink absorber has absorbed is calculated by the printer. Eventually, after substantial use, the printer will enter an error condition when the ink absorber is nearly full. At this point, printing is still possible by pressing the button on the printer. To protect the printer from damage, you will not be able to print at all once the ink absorber is full.
Canon recommends having the printer serviced before the absorber becomes full. We are aware that there are many "do-it-yourself" Web sites that offer instructions for making this repair. Replacing the ink absorber is a complicated and potentially messy procedure. Even if the ink absorber is successfully changed, the ink absorber counter must be reset. Be aware that if you attempt this procedure, it is at your own risk.
If you feel your product might require service, Canon has excellent service options and we are eager to provide any assistance you may need. Click the link below to locate an authorized service facility and obtain further instructions.

Try going to control panel, printers, and check if it says your printer is ready to print..... also right-click on your printer and click cancel all documents.... It should clear the queue, often printers won't print because there are too many documents in queue and I guess it just freezes up.... Hope this helps :)

Hey!

Its probably the print head and it is an expensive spare,But glad u had good service out of the canon and would recommend getting a new one as it will be cheaper!!

enjoy!!

have you tried to clean and align the heads on the printer

you can do this by goin into the preferences of the printer and clicking on the maintnence tab on the top and click on the head alignment and then head cleaning. that should help. if not then your head is bad
