Printer Worked Fine, Prints Test Page, nothing else

Post by hunkerdunker »

I have been printing for 4 months now on the Canon MF3010 without any issues.

Today I put in a new toner cartridge, printed 50 pages fine.

When I went to do another print job, nothing happens. The queue says "Processing" and sometimes pending

I rebooted the computer and printer, deleted the printer and reinstalled it. Nothings worked.

Is the printer rejecting a non Canon toner? Is that why it refuses to print?

I am using a different canon printer,
however
- try to check the toner for mechanical defects
- try to find printer configuration applications on the system and I only check if there are any errors there
- read the manual for your printer,
the printer has no display, but maybe the printer is showing problems other way.
- check the cable if everything is ok.
- check from Live CD / USB if working , if worked before.

For example, some time ago I installed a new system.
In side Libre Office, I had a different paper size than A4
Zero error in the system.
But the printer display reported an error about size.
And in the printer settings I have a lock against the wrong size.
The system update fixed this issue with Libre Office.
