Canon Pixma MG5500 Series Error State Printer Not Responding?

[cfen0031]

Hi all,

I have an issue with my printer. It's a Canon Pixma MG5500 Series. It used to be working fine up until a week or so ago when it started showing an error. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling everything, however it hasn't worked. The issue is that whenever I try to print, an error comes up on my laptop screen saying: Printer Not Responding. At times it has also said Printer is in Error State. Can someone please advise how to get my printer working again? Thanks.

Has this issue been resolved?

My printer suddenly began displaying this error code and refusing to print.

I've tried reloading the drivers and updating the OS. To no avail.

The modem, computer and printer essentially share a desk.

My IPAD and my bride's IPAD and laptop can send print jobs without issue!

Hi, choll.

Which version of Windows or Mac is in use? Are you using the USB or wireless connection?

Not sure you will read this, but maybe someone looking for an answer will.
I had the same issue and fiddled my way to a solution.
I wanted to print an online pdf, so I clicked on the printer icon that dropped down from top of screen, when I moved my mouse up to there.
I clicked on the printer icon
a tool bar opened to the left side of screen
at bottom of tool bar, in blue letters read "print using system dialog"
I clicked on "print using system dialog"
a small window opens
at the top of window reads "select printer"
below "select printer" read canon mg2500, BUT below THAT was canon mg2500 (copy 1)
I clicked on "canon mg2500 (copy 1)"
at bottom of same window reads "apply"
I clicked "apply"
Two (2) buttons to the LEFT of the "Apply" button is a "PRINT" button
I clicked the "PRINT" button
it worked.
For some reason I have to select Canon mg2500 (copy 1), beneath "select printer" in the system dialogue window (CTRL + SHIFT + P) and not canon mg2500

We are using two Lenove laptops with Windows 10, connected via WI FI to the Canon printer.(MG5640)

Can request a scan with the computer and it will be saved in a file - thus there is a WI FI connection (possibly?)
