How do I stop An automatic cartridge cleaning job? The cartridges are non-canon and when I try to update the firmware, it says a job is preventing It from doing that. I think if I canceled the claiming job, I will be able to update, and then they printer will recognize the cartridges. Any thoughts?</P> Tue, 10 Sep 2024 14:49:15 GMT https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/Office-Printers/imageCLASS-MF471Cdw-How-to-stop-automatic-cleaning-job/m-p/499569#M23577 elwood86 2024-09-10T14:49:15Z https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/Office-Printers/imageCLASS-MF471Cdw-How-to-stop-automatic-cleaning-job/m-p/555713#M26952 <P>Hello,&nbsp;</P> <P>Depending on how the cartridge was designed, it might prevent the printer from detecting the cartridge or processing the cartridge to maintain print quality.
