Working from home and struggling with your Canon

Working from home and struggling with your Canon

printer setup? You are not alone!

Most Canon printer problems including printer not

detected, WiFi dropping and printer going offline

are caused by one simple mistake that happens

during the very first setup — incorrect driver

installation.

Here are 5 quick fixes that actually work:

1. Always install official Canon drivers — never

let Windows auto install generic ones that disable

scanning and wireless printing

2. Connect to 2.4GHz WiFi band — Canon printers

are much more stable on 2.4GHz than 5GHz

3. Assign static IP in router settings — permanently

fixes the printer going offline after every router

restart

4. Run nozzle check before important print jobs —

confirms all ink channels are clear and working

5. Leave printer powered on when not in use —

Canon printers run automatic maintenance cycles

that prevent nozzle clogging
