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.



MORE INFORMATION
The LBP-8IV printer is manufactured by Canon, a vendor independent of Microsoft; we make no warranty, implied or otherwise, regarding this product's performance or reliability.
