Check Cables and Printer USB Ports

Check all cable connections (including the power cord) on the printer side. If the printer does have power and you`ve properly connected the communication cable, but the printer is still not recognized, try switching to a different USB port on the PC.

On the taskbar, select the Search icon, type Printers in the search bar, and then select Printers & scanners from the search results to open the Printers & scanners system setting. Next to Add a printer or scanner, select Add device.
Where is Printer History Stored? Just like computers, printers have volatile memory (RAM) that is removed when you turn the printer off. Volatile memory requires power to store the information. Deleting volatile memory is easy: Simply shut down or unplug your printer for a minute or so.
Your printer should have been packaged with a USB cable regardless of whether it is a wireless or wired printer. Plug the cable into your printer and your computer`s USB port. The direct linking should trigger your computer to recognize the printer and start up the software needed to complete the installation.
Open the start menu and select Control Panel > Administrative Tools > and choose the Services icon. Locate the Print Spooler service and right-click. Then select the option to “Stop” the service.
Cartridge or Toner Issues

Low, empty or malfunctioning toner cartridges can cause issues within your copy machine. If toner or cartridges are low or empty, replacing them should resolve the problem.

Click on Device Manager from the context menu. In Device Manager, click on View and select Show hidden devices. Next, expand the Printers section to view your printer.
The “printer icon not showing in devices and printers” issue mostly occurs for various reasons. For instance, it may occur when there is a corrupted printer driver or a corrupted system. Besides, if there is no Bluetooth support, the printer icon missing problem may also appear.
“Yes, most companies have their printers configured through a print server that keeps track of the user and the documents they print,” reads an article from Workplace Round Table. “Even smaller companies have ways to investigate your printer activity without an IT department.”
Copiers and Scanners.

These take a picture of a document which is then stored in memory until it is deleted. The reason copiers and scanners do this is to improve the performance and quality of the output document. For instructions on clearing the memory consult the user`s manual.

They do this using a driver or specialized software that has been designed to convert the file into a language that the printer can understand. The image or text is then recreated on the page using a series of minuscule dots.
HP Smart app (Android, iOS): Open the app, tap your printer, and then tap Printer Information or Network Information to find the IP address. Most printers with a touchscreen display or menu: Open the Wireless Summary or Network Settings menu to find the IP address.
Every printer contains an IP address that allows it to seamlessly connect to your computer (or other devices) through your Wi-Fi network. Here`s everything you need to know about finding your printer IP address—as well as some information about how printer IP addresses work.
Make sure that both ends of the USB cable are correctly inserted into the computer and the printer. Try disconnecting and reconnecting the USB cable at both ends. Disconnect the printer and the computer and reconnect them. Try another USB port if available.

The easiest way to connect the Canon printer to the computer is via a USB cable. It`s the traditional method of connecting devices. One end of the USB remains connected to the printer, and the other must be connected to the computer`s USB port.

canon mx320 copies have blk line down the right side of copies
ANSWER : If you are using the ADF feeder to make copies, then check the small glass on the left side. If there is any dirt or whiteout on the glass, it will result in a line down that spot. You can confirm it by looking at the copy that has the line. If it is dirt on the glass, the line won’t go all the way from top to bottom. There will be a margin on each end.

faint copies
ANSWER : I think you’ve pretty much covered everything. You could try stopping the print while it is in the printer. Then pull out the toner/drum unit and have a look at the drum. If the copy is dark on it, then you have a problem in the transfer portion. I’m not sure if that model uses a transfer roller or maybe high voltage wire to transfer the toner to the page. They charge the back of the page with high voltage to pull the toner down. It’s rare they cause problems, but it can happen.

Horrible lines in copying or scanning
ANSWER : If you are using the ADF, all pages are scanned with the scanner stationary on the left side. There is a small glass above the scanner and if there is anything on it, dust, whiteout, ink etc. it will interpret it as a line. First solution would be to clean the glass with window cleaner and a paper towel. If that doesn’t solve it, then scan the page on the flat glass and see if the problem continues.
