Canon MX920 Printer not responding

[jl487printer]

The printer was installed and I printed fine the first day.  A few days later, the printer in not responding.
I tried reinstalling the driver; the printer is connected to my network.  Any support on this would be helpful.

Hello

Like others, it worked in the AM but not in the PM.

There's a connection (confirmed on printer) between modem and printer.  There's a USB cable between the PC (Windows-10) and the printer.  I've printed out the Network Config Page.  All good & 100% Signal Strength.

Put in new color cartridges and printed color page.

Confirmed for current firmware.

Have turned off and on the printer.

Still getting message "Printer in Error State". every time I want to print a document from the PC.

Am certainly open to suggestions.  Is it the LAN?

Thanks

Same problem.  I've had this printer for about 6 mo.  It has been connected wirelessly to my Net Gear Router which sits on top of the printer.  When it does start to print it prints about 1/8 of a page and then tells me there is an error.  When I run the troubleshooter it tells me there is an uprinted document that is the problem.  I have cleared the print queqe and there is nothing there.  Reset the settings on the printer.  Uninstalled the printer and reinstalled including drivers.  Same problem!!!  So frustrating!!!

I got excited when I saw your siple solution. Unfortunately thiss did not work for me. I am still getting the printer not responding message. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers from the disc. updated from the website and followed every step of the troubleshooter twice. Still not working. About ready to toos this out a window. Everything works but prinnting from the computer whic was working until a few days ago.

I have signal strength of 100%. downloaded the drivers but still not commicating with the printer. I had to go to the USB wired to be able to print. What is the poinnt of having a wireless printer if it will not print wirelessly. This printer is only 2 years old. I should not be having these problems.
