PIXMA MX492 - Scanning feature stopped working weeks ago. Now printer won't print says offline.

Yes. I bought a new printer. I was spending too much time trying to fix things.

I am leaning in the same direction. But It won't be a canon this time around. Between the printer and ink and little to no support from them they've gotten enough of my money this lifetime. 

Do you mind my asking what brand / model you picked up? 

When I do replace this one it's getting the old "Office Space" treatment out in the field.

I did get another Canon but I won't recommend it because the jury is still out. I went for low price, and I'm still getting used to this printer's quirks. I didn't feel like exploring other brands. I will never ever ever buy an HP, for instance - long story. Good luck to you.
