How To Reset Canon Mf230 Printer
Charise Scrivner
I can't get my printer to print even though I see two printers and it was printing fine a few days ago. I am printing w(or was) wirelessly and I hard-reset my router so I am thinking my static ip changed. I don't know. ll I know is that I NEED to print and I can't and it is getting to the point where it is frustrating. I meant to phone Canon all day but was so busy with other things by the time I remembered it was 8:30 my time and of course, they're closed.
Does anyone know what to do? I've gone to menu and hit Wireless but it really doesn't ask me anything or go through a reconnection process. The print jobs are stuck in queue and of course, no question of scanning.

Thanks anyway. We're boxing and taking it back before the date-of-no-return hits us. :). Can you guys delete my account please? If not, when we're back, I'll figure out how. Thanks again for the kind reply, but I need something that I can rely on, or at least that we (who are not really dumb people) can easily put our hands and heads to and get going.

While troubleshooting your Canon printer, you may need to completely reset the device. A factory reset will return your printer to its out of the box settings. This guide will help you factory reset your printer.
That was a GREAT question. ...HOWEVER, CANON DID NOT TELL US WHERE THE RESET BUTTON IS ON OUR COMPUTER - THOUGH MINE IS A PIXMA MX340. I DO, ABSOLUTELY LOVE MY PRINTER, THOUGH. This is the very FIRST time I've had even an issue as insignificant as this - 'where's the reset button'. Because mine is problem free and so dependable, so long lasting, both my daughters have 1 and all 8 of my grandchildren have 1, too. One of my granddaughters works for some bigwig at Disney and, because of her experience with her own, now her bigwig boss has one!!! Word of mouth about what a GREAT product you make spreads all over CA with all the colleges my grandkids are attending!
can't find reset on printer and directions are in a foreign language what's up with that pay good money for your printers and can't even use them but once to copy 15 copies jams and quits printing i'll never buy any cannon products again now i'm out of money and have to buy another printer
I found the power reset on my Canon MX340! It's just below where the power cord plugs into the printer (underneath, on the bottom of the computer) . It's just a tiny little black plastic lever. Just wiggle it left and right or back and forth and the power magically came back on! I feel like a "blithering idiot", being a retired electronic tech with 50 years experience and taking over a half hour to resolve such a simple issue! I didn't want to buy another printer since this is the best I've ever owned . A real work horse! We got it for only 100 bucks at a garage sale, and it obviously cost a lot more than that! It's fast , holds a lot of paper, and has a lot more options than those tiny, cheap $50 printers.
I didn't make myself clear. I was making copies and the printer just stopped. The power was off. I've made sure all the connections were tight and also replaced the power cord, still no juice. I was hoping like other appliances there was a reset button for the power. Thanks for the fast responses.
The ink status monitor on Canon printers isn't the most reliable gauge of how much ink you have left. This because the amount shown is estimated based on how many pages you've printed since you last changed the cartridge.
This error occurs due to the chip on your cartridge still reporting a low or empty ink level from its previous use. The chip itself cannot always be reset, so when the cartridge is refilled and then installed into a new machine it will still register as empty.
Trying to do printing from a Linux machine for the first time. The documentation on CUPS has been leading me in circles and I've lost track of reference points in relation to my failed driver installs.
Working with a Canon imageCLASS MF4370dn, foomatic/gutenprint doesn't show an option for my model in the list of drivers when attempting to install it. I found files specific for the printer at the Canon site with official drivers, but they only mention Debian/Ubuntu/Red Hat. Looking in the files they resolve down to .rpm or .deb files. The wiki page here hints at working with IPP everywhere, but it is not clear and doesn't follow something in my configuration.
Driver is "UFR II/UFRII LT Printer Driver for Linux V5.20," download file name "linux-UFRII-drv-v520-usen-05.tar.gz". This seems different to the files in the referenced AUR packages, whose names contain "uken" rather than "usen". However, one could probably hack something together.
uken vs usen I suspect is US English vs UK English. -lb/ uses Canon Europe for the download while snakeroot was looking at the US site.
Changing one for the other the package built with the usen.
Is there a need to change things over to "usen" to make the printer work? I'd prefer to use UK English over 'Merican, but it isn't clear to me when other geographic factors are bundled with the languages. I'm sticking with Freedom Units for now...
On a possible related note, pacman and now makepkg is giving me repeated warnings from perl that it doesn't recognize the locale and defaults to "C", ever since installing base-devel. I double checked /etc/locale.conf and the LANG variable is correct with no other variables added.
I installed the cnrdrvcups-lb package. Just trying to print from Libreoffice elicited a beep from the printer, which reads that there was a data error. I went to the localhost interface and re-added the printer with the new driver from the selection box. I tried $ cngplp2 as directed by the Canon install guide and
In older UFRII driver versions canon had country oriented driver packages :
US driver only included printers sold in the US, japanese driver only included printers sold in japan , same for australian and austrian drivers (those 2 were long ago) .
Often the same model was sold in several countries but under a different modelname.
The uken driver download included the contents of the usen and japanese driver packages.
After some testing and feedback from users It became clear that the uken download worked for printers sold in europe, United States and asia .
For UFRII on archlinux the uken became the defacto standard and stayed that way.
In 2019 canon released UFR II version 5 without binary parts* and lots of changes.
Canon and archlinux are not a happy couple, but no one reported issues with using the uken driver in US or asia .
Some printers are not supported by v5.x but are supported by 3.70 and there are even some models that are supported by both but only work in the older one.
That's why the 3.70 version is still in AUR.
Looks like locale settings were correct unless I forgot to run locale-gen at install. Everything should be vanilla from the install guide, except that I downloaded the GB hunspell file along with the US one.
No idea what the difference is, but the ZJ & ZK both have A4 as default papersize, while the ZS has letter as default.
Since you wanted the US driver download, I guess you want letter size as default ?
According to the man page, the -E switch only applies encryption when associated with -d -p or -x options, otherwise it enables the destination and accepts jobs, which I think is wanted here?
Perfectly logical application, about what I've come to expect from software associated with Apple...
[edit: ah, -p switch is there, I'll take it back out.
Wait, it says 'before the -p option" is that literal? Seems like an idiotic mess to me...]

On your PC, you may find the Brother, Canon, Ricoh, Epson, or HP printer says out of paper but has paper. If you are bothered by this situation, how can you get rid of the trouble? Take it easy and you can go to find some effective solutions from this post on the MiniTool website.
When using a printer on your Windows PC, you may get an error saying your printer is out of paper. You may think there is really no paper and you need to refill the paper tray to continue using your printer. Actually, sometimes you always get the same error whether it is out of paper or not.
