MAXIFY MB5300 Not printing word documents or text on an excel document

[chadman2007]

Hi All

When i try to print a word document nothing prints off, the paper feeds through but no text.

Also when i print off a excel spreadsheet, the columss and rows print off but not the text inside the columns.

I can print other things but not on these two applications.

I have no idea why.

Please help

Thanks for the information, chadman2007.  We still need to know which model of Canon printer you're using.  Please let us know so that we can have the clearest possible picture of what you're working with.

As the apps you're mentioning are made by Microsoft, you may want to contact them for support, especially if this problem is occuring when you try to print from Microsoft apps.

We look forward to your reply!

My model is MB5300. I have it for half a year. It functioned well during the past 6 months till yesterday. I have the same problem: when i print excel spreadsheet, i only got blank table, not text at all. I tried to print a word document, i got totally a piece of blank paper. What can i do?!

Did anyone find a solution?

my  MX870 windows 10 suddenly started the same thing. I can print PDF but not word and only blank grids on Excel.

I am having the same problem.  I am using Windows 10, Microsoft Office 360 and MX490 printer.  I have reloaded the driver and reloaded Office 360.
