On Windows:
1. Open **Settings**.
2. Go to **Bluetooth & devices**.
3. Select **Printers & scanners**.
4. Click **Canon G2730**.
5. Choose **Set as default** if available.
When printing a document, also check the printer name in the print window before clicking Print.
..# 4. Clear the Stuck Print Queue
A single failed print job can block all new jobs.
On Windows:
1. Open **Settings**.

4. Click **Open print queue**.
5. Cancel all pending jobs.
6. Restart the printer.

..# 5. Check Paper Loading and Paper Jam
If the printer cannot feed paper, it may not print even if the command is sent.
Check these points:
* Use clean, flat paper.
* Do not overfill the paper tray.
* Align the paper guides correctly.
* Remove torn paper pieces.
* Check inside the rear feed area.
* Make sure the output tray is open.
If the error light blinks, inspect the printer carefully for jammed paper.
..# 6. Confirm Ink Tank Levels
The Canon G2730 is an ink tank printer, so low ink or blocked ink flow can cause blank pages or faded output.
Check:
* Black ink tank level
* Cyan ink tank level
* Magenta ink tank level
* Yellow ink tank level

* No visible air gaps in ink tubes, if visible on your model
Do not continue printing if the ink tank is empty. Printing without ink can damage the print head.

..# 9. Restart the Print Spooler Service
The print spooler controls print jobs in Windows. If it freezes, your Canon G2730 may not print.
1. Press **Windows + R**.
2. Type `services.msc`.
