PIXMA TS3522 won't print, not available error

[randal]

When I try to print, it says printer not available.  I have tried power cycling printer and modem, and connecting to a different WiFi source.

Stephen, I don't necessarily need to print right now.  I was just hoping someone would come up with something

Hi,

If the printer is reconnected and the signal strength is below 60%, I would recommend moving the printer closer to the router if possible. If a printer has to low of a signal strength, the computer can give off a false offline error when trying to print. Even though the printer is connected, because the signal is so low, the computer reacts like the printer is offline.

I got a solution from outside the forum.  Thanks

My printer is literally touching my router.

Yes. Please share. I’m having the same issue. On 2 different printers! It’s driving me crazy now.

Yes this is a late reply, but just got a new TS3720 and while I'm able to print items from my phone that I can browse to through the canon app, I received 'printer not available' when I tried to print an email and selected the printer from a list.

Only thing that worked for me was using a default print service from Mobile Dynamix called Printer Share Mobile Print, an app from Google Play. Works for both my ancient HP toner officehet, and this brand new Pixma. I ain't gots time ta be playin with this stuff.
