Troubleshooting Canon ip110 printer
Check the printer connection
If the Canon printer is not connected to a wired setup then check the USB cord. Your printer shows issues when the USB cord is faulty. Go to the printer and eject the cable. Now check both ends of the cable for any damage. If the cable is damaged or has any kinks in the cord then replace it. Use only a high-speed USB cord on the printer. In case the cord is working fine but the printer is still showing connection issues then check for the USB port. Use another port for connecting the printer.
When you are on a Canon ip110 wireless setup then you should check for the Wi-Fi settings. Go to the Canon printer and enable the Wi-Fi button. The printer will start blinking and looking for available devices. Now immediately go to the PC and open the Printers folders. Tap on Add a Device and your computer will start looking for a device. Wait for some time and your Canon printer will appear on the screen. Choose the printer and click on Add. Your printer will be connected to the PC wirelessly and now you can take your printouts.
Check for the Canon printer driver
If your Canon printer is showing offline status then check for the printer driver. Your printer will show offline status if the connected device doesn’t have a driver. Without the driver, the Canon printer can’t receive the command. This driver is like a communication bridge. Without installing the driver, your printer can’t communicate with the PC. Every Canon printer model has a different driver. If you have another Canon driver then uninstall it. Now search for a Canon ip110 printer driver. Download and install the driver on your device and restart it. Reconnect the printer to the PC and wait. Your printer will become online once it finds the required driver.
Run a printer troubleshooter
Whenever your Canon device shows any errors, look for printer troubleshooting. This inbuilt utility tool can fix various printer-related issues. If the Canon printer is not working then go to the connected device. On Windows, open the Update & Security folder. Search for the Troubleshooter tool and click on Printer troubleshooter. Run the tool and it will start looking for all printer-related issues. Wait until the tool shows the report wizard. Now read the wizard and try to take your printouts.
Power restart the Canon printer
If your Canon printer stops responding unexpectedly then you need to check the printer services. This error majorly appears when some printer services stop working. To fix this, you need to restart all the printer services. For resuming those services, a simple restart won’t work. You have to perform a power restart. When a Canon printer is ON, eject the power cord. Now wait for about 10 seconds and reconnect the cord. Your printer must start automatically. After a power restart, all printer services will start running from the beginning. Go to the computer and check the Canon printer status. Send a new print command and take your printouts.
Check for installed cartridges
A Canon printer can get into trouble when it can’t fetch the ink. Without the ink, your printer can’t print anything. To fix the problem, check for the installed cartridges. Go to the printer and eject the installed cartridges. If the cartridge is empty then replace it. Sometimes the user forgets to remove the plastic clips from a new cartridge while installing it. These clips are used to protect the cartridge from any mishandling issues. But the user has to remove them before installing the cartridge to the printer. Check the cartridge for the plastic clips; remove those clips and install the cartridge to the printer. Now try to take the printout and check for the error.
Use an original cartridge
If you are getting poor-quality printouts on your Canon device then check for ink. The printer starts giving faded printouts when the ink level is low. To get better quality printouts, you should replace the cartridge. Get a new cartridge for your printer and now take the printouts. You can also get poor-quality printouts due to clone cartridges. These third-party cartridges are cheaper and provide poor printouts. If you want to print in better quality; you should only use the original cartridges. In case the original cartridges seem costly then you can purchase ink. Purchase high-quality ink and refill the cartridge. Refilling ink in the cartridges is very simple in a Canon printer. After refilling, give a new print command and test the printout quality.
Reset your Canon printer
Some users reported that the Canon printer is not working after making some changes in the settings. The error may appear due to some invalid changes in the settings. To run the printer, you need to undo those changes. Again open Canon printer settings and undo the recent changes. Sometimes, the user forgets the original printer settings. If you can’t remember the original settings then you need to reset the printer.
Go to Canon printer and press the Control panel switch
Tap on Reset and choose Soft Reset using the navigation key
Now hold down the button until Hard reset appears on the screen
Your printer will be reset to default settings. After performing a hard reset to the Canon printer, you have to reconfigure the printer. Go to the Canon printer and reconfigure it on your PC or network. After reconfiguring, you can easily take the printouts.
Inspect the Canon printer on the network
If the Canon printer is showing connection issues on the network then check the router. Ensure that you have connected the printer to the correct network. If multiple open networks are available then the printer will get connected to a network with the best range. You can take a printout of the network configuration to ensure that the printer is connected to the correct network. Some users also quote that they are getting issues while scanning the document. This problem occurs when the network is secured with a firewall. Disable the firewall and then try to scan the document on the network.
Switch the printing mode
If your printer is running very slowly then check the printing mode. Printers require more time in printing colorful and bright printouts. You should only use high printing mode when you are taking colored printouts. If you need simple printouts then switch to normal or low mode. Printer speed reduces on a wireless connection. You can switch to a wired connection for better printing speed. If the printer is running on a wired connection then change the USB cord. Use a new and high-speed cable for printing.
