Canon printer

15 years ago

My printer is only a few months old, I must have done something in the settings. I cancelled all documents but as soon as i put paper in it startd printing all documents that were cancelled. I can't find the phone number for Cannon so that's why i'm asking here.

Sort by:Oldest

I've had this happen. Nuff to make a feller say durn. Cancelling several lined up print jobs isn't necessarily all that simple. The comp seems to grab on and not let go.

Anyway try this; Controll Panel > Printers and Faxs

The first column should have a list of names like your printer and maybe the Microsoft Doc Writer and will show the number of docs ready to print. If it is not zero you have to make it zero.

Double click your printer and it will cough up a window where you can delete all your print jobs. As I recall when you do this it takes it own sweet time to go to completion. Couple minutes maybe.

BTW all this is spelled out in the MS help menu under printing > Cancelling Printing of a Document. At least in my XP.

Thank you for your suggestion. I got into the site and was reading, then decided that I would try once again. To my amazement it worked and I was able to put two new ink cartlidges into my printer. So thank you........Grace

How do you print sharp pictures?
Q

I finally got the photos printed. I was getting bad prints when I printed directly from iphoto (the pics look sharp in the monitor when viewed in iphoto but print fuzzy). The only resizing I did was to try to get a 5 x 7, but I wasn't able to- got a almost 4 x 7. The printer has a Easy photo print program that cannot access photos on iphoto. So I exported the photos I wanted into a file called Pictures that the EAasy print program could access. Then I was able to request a 5 x 7, and the print was much clearer. I don't know what happens when I exported the photo, but it seems that printing directly from iphoto gives me very poor pictures. I did upload pics to Target for them to print, and did it directly from iphoto. I haven't received them even tho it has been a week. I wonder if Target is getting very poor picture quality from the iphoto program too. I didn't know about Show photo info. What file size do I want to get a clear print?

Canon cameras?
Q
Comments (14)
iowagirl, I really don't know much about the DSLR cameras, so I guess I better do lots more research. I just mentioned to my sister than I was going to buy a new camera and I wanted another Canon. She has an Olympus and said she thought it took great pictures until she saw her 2 friends pictures. They were awesome, so she ask them what type of camera they had and both just said Canon 12 mp. I'll get her to ask them more about which camera it is. I'll also check out the others that you all have suggested. I just want to hurry up and get one! I hate to be without a camera. Of course my clothes dryer wouldn't work this morning, so I may be shopping for a dryer before the camera. :( Thanks to everyone!

Non WiFi Network an Old Printer?

Are there any Cleaning Features you can use. Sometimes this will help when a printer has sat for a while. On my Brother Inkjet (MFC-845cw) I have to clean it numerous times to get it to print correctly. It doesn't get used much (only for Photos on Photo Paper). We have Two Brother Color Laser AIO Printers (MFC-9440cn and DCp9040cn) that are the really workhorses in our printing. Your Printer has a LED Readout and in the Menu you might find the Cleaning Feature. Scroll thru and see if you can find it. Once you find this feature run it several times to see if it helps. I would run it 10-15 times to be sure it's printing correctly!
