• Ink/Toner Levels: Check ink or toner levels and replace cartridges if necessary. 
• Paper: Make sure there is paper loaded and that it is not jammed. 
• Error Messages: Check for any error messages on the printer's display or computer and consult the manual for solutions. 

Step 2. Software & Driver Issues:

• Driver Updates:Ensure the printer drivers are up-to-date by downloading the latest version from Canon's support website.
