How to fix common Canon printer problems in Windows 10?

Older peripheral devices such as printers may not function properly after upgrading to Windows 10. If you are using a Canon printer, then you should first take a look at Canon’s website to see the list of printers that will work with Windows 10.
If your printer model figures in the list but you are still facing printer problems, we have set out some possible solutions below.


- Canon printer does not work in Windows 10

The first thing you need to do is to check if your Canon printer is switched on and connected to the PC in question. This may seem basic but it is surprisingly easy to overlook! If your printer is still not working, follow the steps set out below:
  1. Try running the printing Troubleshooter provided by Microsoft
  2. If that doesn’t solve the issue, it means that your printer may need new Printer Drivers. Check the printer manufacturer’s website for compatible Printer Drivers that will work with Windows 10.
Before installing the new Printer Drivers, you need to uninstall the printer by following the steps given below
  1. Open Start menu
  2. Click Devices and Printers
  3. Select your Canon Printer
  4. Select Remove Device from the top of the screen
  5. Reinstall the printer
  6. If Windows does not find a Driver, browse the printer manufacturer website for Drivers.
  7. Download the Driver and follow the instructions given by the printer manufacturer.
Alternatively you can get a Driver Update Tool to update the Drivers for you and keep them updated. To check for Driver Updates click here to run a free Drivers Scan of your PC.

- No Windows 10 Printer Driver for your printer

Not all printer manufacturers are offering new Drivers that will work with Windows 10. In some cases, you might see the printer manufacturer has ended the support to the printer model you own. However, there is a way around this issue.
If your printer manufacturer is not offering Windows 10 compatible Printer Drivers, you can try Windows 8 Printer Drivers as they may work. In most cases, the Printer Driver is a .exe file. You need to uninstall the printer by starting from Step 4 above.
After you have removed the printer, you need to click on .exe Driver file and install the Printer Driver.

I installed in a new  paper tray   and a few  paper feed ...
