![]() ![]() if possible keep it simple I am not the computer maven some of you are - I can however follow directions and with a screenshot or sample to see can do most things. ![]() ![]() But what can be done to stabilize this thing and get on with life? I print alot here - we do photography and sometime I print in color just to get ideas before sending it to the real printers we use for our customers. I have to shut down computer, shut down printer - send something to printer and if it says offline or error - I go to lower left of computer Rt Click on start button, select printers with left click, and toggle printer (which by the way like someone else said has to be the Canon MX920 series printer WS, and sometimes it works sometimes no.) Driving me nuts - I don't care if it's hooked up to router - I'll print directly from this computer I'm typing to you on. All kinds of errors and it's luck of the draw to get it to work at all. I replaced old router with NETGEAR R7000 and it did not work well with that - so bought a printer cord and just went from Printer itself to my computer directly. then a while ago did not with my old router, which had to be replaced. But when I print, I'm able to select the Printer and that worked. NOTE: When I installed the printer, it showed up as "Canon MX920 Series FAX WS", not sure why it's FAX and not Printer. When I try to print a test page, I get this: THEN, I tried to detect the printer from Windows, it is found, but CAN'T CONNECT !!! It says WPS device detected, but then it never detects it, says "Timeout error". Then I tried WPS set up, which I had done when I originally got the thing. For the life of me, I can't figure out what this even means, "offline", since the darn thing just connected ! But it won't print, the printer remains offline. So I re-connected the printer via setup, connecting normally, entering my Wi-Fi password, and it says "Connected". Where's the button that says "go online" ? My main question is - what exactly does it mean "printer is offline" ? I mean, I get that it's "not ONLINE", but WTF ? How the heck do I wake it up ? Where the heck is the "online" button ? This pisses me off. This new one worked great on wireless, but now the connection is kaput.īoth my PC and the printer can recognize the other, but something is amiss But then my wife couldn't print from her Mac. I had the same issue on a previous MX922 that was never resolved, so I set that earlier printer as a local printer with direct wired connection. I don't print very often so I've turned it off now and then, but it would connect no problem upon restart. I purchased this in Jan this year, set it up wireless, everything going well. Hi, my MX922 has "gone offline" and I have no idea how to wake it up. If you'd like to glance at the issue below and provide some insight, that would be great ! But I wanted to send a real letter to my son stationed in Germany, and the printer had been working fine. I suppose I should have re-booted yesterday, maybe I would have spent less time fiddling with this. May 1 - it works now, and I have no idea why. ![]()
