Download the latest firmware and drivers for your printer model from Cannon (<EM>unless you still have them on your PC</EM>). <STRONG>***You'll be downloading drivers and the Firmware Update Tool***</STRONG></P><P>2. If you happen to have your printer running on Wi-Fi you'll need to plug your printer into your PC <STRONG>using a USB printer cable</STRONG> ( <EM>because most likely, your printer screen is frozen at this point and won't respond over WIFI.</EM>)</P><P>3. Run the Firmware Update Tool and it will 'find' your printer and prompt you to install the latest firmware.</P><P><BR />4. After the firmware is installed, restart your printer and unplug the USB printer cable if you want to go back to WiFi.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>&nbsp;</P> Tue, 08 Aug 2023 13:46:02 GMT https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/Office-Printers/Solution-for-imageCLASS-Download-Mode-Waiting-Message/m-p/431092#M19965 Jrayne 2023-08-08T13:46:02Z https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/Office-Printers/Solution-for-imageCLASS-Download-Mode-Waiting-Message/m-p/431098#M19966 <P>Greetings,</P><P>Thanks for posting your solution.&nbsp; Did you have a question or need assistance updating your device?&nbsp; If so, please post the model of your Canon printer, and information about the problem or issue you are experiencing.</P> Tue, 08 Aug 2023 05:13:59 GMT https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/Office-Printers/Solution-for-imageCLASS-Download-Mode-Waiting-Message/m-p/431098#M19966 shadowsports 2023-08-08T05:13:59Z https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/Office-Printers/Solution-for-imageCLASS-Download-Mode-Waiting-Message/m-p/550648#M26665 <P>I want to update the firmware but it says that it doesnt need to update firmware.
