Pixma MG6620 Won't Turn On

[trichey]

Apparently there has been something Canon has updated today or over the weekend which has caused a variety of users to experience the exact same problem - printer decided to power off and won't power back up. You cannot tell me that it is just a coincidence that all of our hardware drivers crashed at the exact same time. I am not buying a new printer when mine worked fine a couple of days ago before Memorial Day weekend.

With you on this, they did something causing the failure. I seen too many post Abt it posted this week when I started to search Abt what was going on with my machine.

Exact same thing happened to me.  If I unplug my internet and wifi I am able to turn printer on and can print via usb. If I plug wifi and internet back in print shuts off and will not turn back on. I shut my wifi setting off in the printer so it can not automatically connect. This is a work around for now. Canon definitely is doing something via internet with their printers.

Same thing happened to me this morning. Never had any problems with this printer until today.  Seeing many posts from today and yesterday for the exact same issue.

I'm having the same problem, but I'm trying to get my head around how they can control the on/off button. It was on. I turned it off to move to a new location, and it never powered up again. It started, then shut down. I followed the "disconnect for an hour" instructions also.

Got the printer usb plug.  Printed once and then says printer is offline and will not print. This whole thing is bull**bleep**!!

I agree. Once I was able to get printer on I went into settings on the printer and reset them to factory so it would not reconnect to wifi. I then plugged it into my computer via usb and had to go into printer settings and now choose the new one. Mine came up as series 2 now.
