Hi!
First time posting here. I have the Canon Pixma MX492. I replaced the black ink cartridge with a new one the other day and used it twice without any problems. Early this morning it started turning off and on by itself. I tried unplugging it and rebooting it and it won't stay on long enough to do anything. It doesn't even give an error message and none of the buttons work. It just keeps turning off and on, off and on. I need this for work! Help!
Solved! Go to Solution.

Thank you for this. I just went out and bought a new printer and then found your info. Did as you described and my printer is working fine now.

Wow. The same thing started happening to me yesterday (5/31/22), and when I read all the dates that everyone posted, it looks like Canon needed some $$$ yesterday. I'm going to try the fix that someone else posted below. I need this printer to work for another month since June is graduation month here in NY, and I am printing a lot of scholarship odds and ends. It is truly acting possessed!

So I disconnected my internet, turned off the internet on the Canon, ran a cable from my computer to the printer and it now works.. but that's not why I bought this printer - to have it hardwired. I liked the ability to print from any device. Won't be buying another Canon if they don't fix this. The Epson power tanks look better and better now.

I was able to get through to someone at Canon and tell them about all of us having problems on the same day, same symptoms, multiple models --and getting no one at Canon to respond....................she checked with someone and came back and told me that they have learned of the problem and are working on fixing it.................NO idea how they are going to communicate to anyone......but I asked her to tell them to post something in the community here...............
i am new to community so am blocked from posting anything..... apparently i am only allowed to 'reply' - so hopefully someone will see this and hopefully we will all see some help on it later today.........to make matters more annoying......i just learned that even though I had already registered my printer the same day I bought it, they have no record of that -so won't be very helpful at all- still arguing about getting some communication from them when they finally figure out how to fix this mess

There is a manual workaround, worked for me:

Mine started doing the same thing yesterday. Turned my Wifi off and the printer works fine. Turned the Wifi back on and the printer became possessed again. Apparently I can't have the wifi and printer on at the same time! And why did this just start happing yesterday along with everyone else?
