2. Plug it back firmly.
3. Try a different USB port on the computer.
4. Avoid USB hubs or extension cables.
5. Use a different USB cable if available.

..# 3. Make Sure Canon G2730 Is Selected
Sometimes the document goes to the wrong printer or a virtual printer like “Save as PDF.”
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**.
2. Go to **Printers & scanners**.
3. Select **Canon G2730**.
4. Click **Open print queue**.
5. Cancel all pending jobs.
6. Restart the printer.
7. Print again.
If jobs will not cancel, restart the computer and try again.

..# 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
* Ink tank caps are properly closed
* 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.

5. Start cleaning.
6. Wait until it finishes.

If the print is still poor, run **Deep Cleaning** once. Avoid running deep cleaning many times because it uses more ink.

..# 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`.

4. Find **Print Spooler**.
5. Right-click it.
