Your computer or device is unable to effectively communicate with your Canon printer if it displays Canon Printer Not Online issue. This annoying issue is frequent, but it is typically resolved with simple troubleshooting.
1. Verify the printer’s connection and power.
Make sure your printer is turned on and connected correctly first. Make sure the Ethernet or USB cable is firmly inserted into the printer if it is connected. Make that your computer and the wireless printer are linked to the same Wi-Fi network.
2. Turn Devices Off
After turning off your computer and printer, switch them back on. Communication between devices is frequently reset by this easy reboot.
3. Make the printer the default
Your computer may occasionally attempt to send print jobs to the incorrect device. On Windows, choose your Canon printer under Settings > Devices > Printers & Scanners, then click Set as default. To make your printer the default on a Mac, go to System Preferences > Printers & Scanners, pick your printer, and then right-click.
4. Empty Print Line
The printer may appear offline due to a jammed print job. Try printing again after canceling all outstanding print jobs from the print queue.
5. Reinstall or Update Drivers
Connectivity problems may be caused by outdated or corrupted drivers. To get the most recent drivers for your printer model and operating system, go to the Canon website. The driver can be installed or reinstalled to restore correct communication.
6. Launch the Printer Troubleshooting Tool
The built-in troubleshooting tools on both Mac and Windows can quickly identify and resolve common printer problems.
7. Verify the network configuration (for wireless printers)
Make that the IP address on your computer’s printer settings corresponds to the one on your printer. If necessary, re-connect the printer to the network.
If your Canon printer still shows as offline after attempting all of these fixes, there may be a hardware problem that needs expert assistance.
