Blank Pages When Printing to Canon LBP-81V Printer

Last reviewed: November 1, 1995

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows 95

SYMPTOMS

When you print a document to a Canon LBP-8IV printer, the first few pages print correctly, but the remaining pages are blank.

CAUSE

This problem can occur if the Canon LBP-8IV printer is attached to the computer with a parallel cable over 4 feet in length. The blank pages occur because the Canon LBP-8IV printer defaults to a 30-second time-out. This setting cannot be changed.

RESOLUTION

To correct this problem, connect the printer to the system using a parallel cable shorter than 4 feet. This is the recommended length specified in the Canon LBP-8IV printer documentation.
