Canon MX532 suddenly stops functioning 'port in use'

smorgdonkey — Wed, 15 Apr 2020 11:02:22 GMT

I just printed normally a day or two ago and now, with no changes, I am getting no printing and 'port in use' error.

I tried updating the drivers and I got the message that the drivers are up to date.

Windows 10 Pro.

Suggestions please?!
