Part 3: What to do if your printer is not working properly

If your Canon printer is acting a bit funny, say:

• error notifications appear randomly
• it won't even print at all etc.

most likely you have outdated or damaged printer driver. Therefore, you should update your printer driver to see if it fixes your problem. If you don't have the time, patience, or skills to update your driver manually, you can do it automatically with Driver Easy.

Driver Easy will automatically recognize your system and find the correct drivers for it. You don't need to know exactly what system your computer is running, you don't need to risk downloading and installing the wrong driver, and you don't need to worry about making a mistake when installing. Driver Easy takes care of everything.

You can update your drivers automatically with the FREE or Pro version of Driver Easy. But with the Pro version it only takes 2 steps (and you get full support and a 30-day money-back guarantee):

1) Download and install Driver Easy.

2) Run Driver Easy and click the Scan Now button. Driver Easy will then scan your computer and detect any problematic drivers.

3) Click Update All to automatically download and install the correct version of ALL missing or out-of-date drivers on your system (this requires the Pro version - you will be prompted to update when you click Update All).

4) Restart your computer for the changes to take effect.

5) Check if printing is working.
