PIXMA G4210 Long delays to print, won't print back of duplex pages

AlligoodDE — Fri, 13 Mar 2026 13:47:37 GMT

I've had this printer a few years and it's been great until recently. I often print duplex to save paper. Recently, the printer will lag in printing. When it finally prints and I flip the pages, it will not continue to print. Several minutes or hours later, it decides to start printing but it starts the job over and prints page 1 again.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled drivers several times. The printer might work correctly with printing one document, but then it stops working correctly.

I use the printer with a wireless connection using a eero 6E router. Also, I am using Windows 11.

But how do I keep it from happening repeatedly? I never had a problem with this until about 2 weeks ago, but now it is happening continually.

Greetings ,

Is this the process you're using to print duplex manually?
