I have a acer desktop wired to a canon tr4500. I cant just turn the power on. open my desktop. go to word or google and just start printing my work. my computer says my printer is offline. it wont let me just print offline or reconnect so i can do my printing although i do have a wire between to two. it has to fight me every day so i have to reinstall everything like its new every day and i cant spend three hours doing this to print one page. it's extremly frustrating.

    Hii,

    Disconnect the printer's USB cable from the PC.

    After this procedure, you can set up a new print job. To do this, go to start menu > Settings > Bluetooth & devices > Printers > Select canon tr4500 and click Remove devices.

    Download the Canon printer driver, run it as administrator, and follow the instructions.

    While this is not a Microsoft website, it is the official site of [TR4550/ Canon].

    Thanks
