My cannon ip6000D printer is saying its offline and wont print.. please help

Go to the CONTROL PANEL on the computer, select PRINTER?FAX icon, then click on the name of the printer you want to associate with your printing needs and make sure it is connected. This will allow the print jobs to go..... Please let me know if there is any thing else you might need, of if it is still offline, we can go further! Guy :) Pleasure to help out.....

When you double click the Printer and Faxes icon in the Control Panel you will see the printer that your computer is currently using. See.... if the printer image is clear it is online and ready to use, if its blurred then its in offline mode and cannot be use.

To correct offline printer.. some possible reasons is on the usb cable.. check if there is no open wire along the cable...Inserting the USB connector on the other usb slot of the cpu sometimes work just wait first until it is read.

If the printer is still blurred and offline after checking the usb connection, the 2nd thing to do is check the properties of the printer if it is set to offline mode. how? Double click your printer icon. It will display the print jobs window. Click on the Printer tab and uncheck on the "Use printer Offline". Cancel all pending print jobs, close the printer window and try again to print.

check your printer properties that the "print to file" box is unchecked

Download the 'Canon Inkjet Printer Driver Add-On Module' here:

This should allow you to use your printer with windows 7. Also check that all connections are connected properly.

Hi. You haven't said what operating system you're using or wether or not this is a recent thing. However if you are using Windows XP or Vista you can go to control panel, printers and scanners, under XP, or printers and other hardware under Vista, right click your printer and see if there is a check/tick against use printer offline. If there is uncheck it and see if that works.

I hope that helps but without anything to go on its only a guess. Good luck
