1. Check Physical Connections:
Ensure that your Canon printer is properly connected to your computer via USB or through a network connection. Make sure cables are securely plugged in.
2. Restart Your Devices:
Restart both your computer and your Canon printer. Sometimes, a simple reboot can resolve connectivity issues.
3. Verify Power and Status:
Ensure that your Canon printer is powered on and in a ready state. Check for any error messages on the printer's display.
4. Check Device Manager:
Right-click on the Start button and select "Device Manager."
Look for your Canon printer under the "Print queues" or "Printers" section.
If there's an issue with the printer driver, you might see a yellow triangle or an exclamation mark. If so, try updating or reinstalling the driver.
5. Update Printer Drivers:
Visit the official Canon website and download the latest drivers for your printer model. Install them on your Windows 11 computer.
