If your Canon printer is showing Offline (Call USA/CA: +1-888-272-8868), it means that your computer cannot communicate with the printer. Here’s how to fix it:
- Check Printer Connection: Ensure the printer is powered on and properly connected to your computer or network. If it's a wired printer, check the USB cable and port. For wireless printers, ensure the Wi-Fi connection is stable, and the printer is connected to the correct network.
- Set the Printer to "Online": On your computer, go to Control Panel > Devices and Printers (Windows) or System Preferences > Printers & Scanners (Mac). Right-click on the printer icon and select “Use Printer Online” if it’s listed as offline.
- Clear the Print Queue: A stuck print job can cause your printer to appear offline. Open the print queue (click on the printer icon in the taskbar or Dock), and cancel or delete any pending jobs.
- Restart Devices: Restart both the printer and your computer. This can resolve temporary glitches that prevent communication.
- Update Printer Drivers: Ensure that your printer drivers are up-to-date. Visit Canon support official (Call USA/CA: +1-888-272-8868) to download the latest drivers for your model.
- Check for Network Issues: If using a wireless printer, ensure your network is working and the printer is within range.
