My home 2.4gz network has gone down and I want to reconfigure the MF230 printer as connecting via USB ONLY, not wirelessly. I keep getting errors about wireless problems and I want them to go away.

Hi there,

Thanks for joining the Canon Community!

Please let us know the specific printer within the MF230 series so our community has the most accurate info possible! The model is typically listed on the top left of the area where the display is.

Hope this helps!

I contacted phone support (1 800-652-2666) and the resolved it. I had to change my network settings on the printer from Wireless LAN to Wired LAN. duh!!!
