Printer goes offline when the firewall is on: Does anyone else have this problem?

I'm having the same problem, attempting to troubleshoot. Printer keeps going offline and the only fix seems to be uplug it and plug it back in.

Ours is used as a network printer, only occasionally. It goes into a "deep sleep" after a while and it is pretty close to powered off. It wakes up when you print something. Ours is sometimes days or weeks between use at this point and it does fine on waking up. It does take something like 30 secs for the first print after it goes into deep sleep mode.

No problems here. Try ejecting the disc, remove all ink cartridges, turn everything off including computer andstart afresh following exactly all sequences in the quick start guide , especially when to power on printer andconnect USB. Set up USB wired first then do wifi if you eventually want to go that way? I run USB to my desktopcomputer and wifi everything else...............

Oops, I take it back. XP had the same problem that my vista machines had it now: it could not find the printer on the same networks. I got it to work doing the custom install by specifying the ip address. So, the deal is DO NOT use the "auto" install.

Yes, I have it. Rather, I had it, before the entire printer stopped functioning. There came a point when it wouldn't turn on any more; I'm reasonably certain that it was the printer, though, and not the cable.

The answer I received from dell was to uninstall and then add the printer back. A colossal pain in the butt.

Re connecting to network. U can't really connect wirelessly. It was very easy after I used USB directly connected to pc. Once that step was completed, I used the WPS function on my router and on faceplate of printer to sync up. It all worked fine for me.

Maybe you can find an answer from the manual you can download. I bought one of these printers and had to return it and purchase another one that works properly. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

I had similar problems Chris. I am only using this printer with my desktop iMac in my private office where it works fine. I run my small medical practice online with 2 Windows laptops--I was able to use this printer successfully at times, but I recall having to delete it and reinstall it a couple of times wirelessly. I think you should delete it, then add it back only via wireless.

I have a printer attached. I continue to have unexpected shutdown problems with this computer. If you read their history it seems to be a trend. Unfortunately, it is a used computer and to have gone through a return / replacement would have cost us too much in time & shipping.

That has happened a couple of times for me, too, if I haven't used it in a few days. I think the printer occasionally loses its IP address on my home network. My easy solution is to unplug the printer, wait a few seconds, and then plug in the printer again. It then turns on, automatically finds its new IP address on the network, and prints great.

Yes, If you can get it back on line. My printer would go off line and it got so i could not get it registered with google cloud print! I gave up on my chromebook.

Are you trying to connect via WiFi? If so, unplug printer for a couple minutes. Plug it back in and go to the WiFi setup and enter the password for your network. If no workie, call Canon support..

Depends on whether or not your trying to connect wired or wireless. If wired then your going to have to open control panel and allow the printer to be used within your network.If it is actually a wireless printer it must have that capability of being wireless. All routers will work mostly the same way no matter what brand. Your firewall may prevent certain other exterior components to be used as well and would need to be configured to be allowed to use.

I have never had that problem. What printer setting are you using? I believe just the normal print setting is suggested; that's what I use.

You rock man for posting this! what happen with me is that I attached a Wii to the network and it took the printer's IP address! Making the Ip address of the printer static is the key. This way, my computers aren't knocking on the addresses of other devices looking for the printer! :)Thanks again!

I read recent reviews that the Canon Bluetooth Adapter BU-20 (once connected to the printer via USB) disables USB-cord and memory-card printing functionality.
