MX492 error meesage with no code

ashliannb — Fri, 01 May 2020 16:49:31 GMT

My MX492 printer is connected to the same WiFi network my laptop is on. My laptop picks up the connection when searching for a printer and shows connected. Everytime I try to print, I get an error message. There is no error number or any information, it just says "Error Printing on Canon..."

I have uninstalled and reinstalled the driver and software multiple times and have reset the printer. I am at a complete loss at this point, because I can't seem to even pinpoint the problem?

Anyone had this happen or can help? Thank you!!!!!
