Canon Printer Not Responding

Canon printer not responding on Windows 10

The Canon printers are a very popular choice among users of Windows 10 because Canon has a reputation of designing all of its devices to be very compatible, synchronized, and integrated with Windows 10. So it is always a surprise when any user runs into the Canon printer not responding issue.

Steps to fix the issue of the printer not responding -

The first thing you should do is that you should check your antivirus software and the firewall which you have set up for your internet connection. Oftentimes the antivirus or the firewall block the printer device driver software from functioning because they mistakenly identify it as a trojan or a virus or some other kind of malware.

The second step which you have to take is to carefully check all the printer connections to see if all the wires and USB cables which are attached to the printer are connected to the desktop or laptop computer correctly.

The third step which you will have to take is to update the device drivers of the printer hardware. You will have to press Alt + X and then select ‘Device Manager’ from the list of options which comes up.

In the list of devices shown in the Device Manager, you will have to select your printer and then right click on your printer and then select ‘Update driver.’

Many times the driver becomes out of date and becomes incompatible with Windows 10 because of which the printer is not able to receive instructions from the printer properly.
