MX850 Pixma - Printer Not Responding all of a sudden

jeff390 — Thu, 16 Jan 2014 19:36:17 GMT

My shared printer only works immediately after a forced reboot of the printer, and then it usually only works for a very short period before becoming unresponsive.
I have 2x WinXP (32 bit) laptops connecting wirelessly to a netcomm router. Canon MX850 Pixma is wired to the router via a network cable.
This setup has worked flawlessly for 2 years, but now I can only print after the printer is rebooted (sometimes not even then). All other functions of the printer work 100%.
Have tried connecting one PC directly to the router by network cable to try & rule out the wireless component - the problem remains exactly the same wired or wiresless.

Have tried disabling virus s/w & windows firewall - no effect.

Using latest drivers & have replaced network cables & rebooted everything several times.

Please help...
