Have fun with the old printer at home-Canon canon s100sp

I want to help my dad print the report, but I am too lazy to print it out, so my dad turned out the canno s100sp which had been idle for a long time. This printer was bought for about 03 years, at that time, the figure was fresh, and it was actually never used several times. I remember that there was a problem with the last time I used it, and I never care about it.

No matter how much it is, wipe off the dust, power, the printer sound, it indicates a great possibility, and then connect the USB data cable, huh? Why didn't we respond? I was thinking that if the computer couldn't identify it, it would be too much trouble. I checked out whether there was a problem with deprecation. When I unplugged it, I saw a prompt on the system tray that "the driver is being installed". I changed the port and inserted it again, but I still didn't respond, when I thought of the situation, I pulled the USB port a little out, and the system tray showed the same prompt.Poor contactCause ~

Because it is Server 2008, it comes with the Canon driver, and I don't need to find a 64-bit driver. It saves a lot of trouble and it is hard to find things for a long time. I have a deep understanding of this. Then print the sample, which is always stuck in the no response phase of the printer and displays: "Printer not responding". Isn't the driver correct? It may also be the port or the wiring is wrong. Baidu once, the issuer can automatically clean the print head by pressing the reset key for more than 2 seconds. Maybe it is a bit useful. After a long press, there is still no response, So I open the front cover,Drag the ink cartridge to the center, dial the button on the ink cartridge, and reset the printer., I tried to print the sample ~, I printed other reports and found only some ink. It seems that there is no ink. So I went straight to the Computer City and looked for bc21 ink cartridges, which was also good for RP. I was the first to ask, and there were two original boxes, but the dust on it reminded me that it was really an old thing, and no color ink cartridges can be found.

Install the ink cartridge. Although the color ink cartridge is empty, it must be installed before printing. The printing report ends.
