Pixma MG7520 turns on but shuts off before I can access menu

My Canon MG7520 was working perfectly until yesterday. It kept shutting itself off yesterday. Today it would start the process of turning on, but turn off before it would get to the menu. I know it's getting older, but it's worked so well until now. Is there anything I can do?

Same here. I don’t have the patience to print from a USB since what I’m trying to print is from my phone. I hope there’s a solution, I just bought a ton of ink cartridges!

In the same boat as you all. Had a perfectly working printer one day and the next day it’s all messed up! Terrible timing for me personally as I’ll be a first-year teacher in the fall and I’m trying to print and prep all of the things. I sure do hope Canon makes this right… really not wanting to spend a few hundred dollars on a new printer when I know mine was just fine!!!

Same problem. Went to use my 7520 this morning and it was off. I NEVER turn it off. It only comes on for 5 seconds and shuts off. The ink cartridges do not slide. The door opens and it shuts off. I used it May 31 and had no problems.

Wow. What is going on. I am going through the same issue as everyone who's previously commented about their MG7520. I used my MG 7520 just two days ago and for the past 30 minutes, the printer was found off, turns on then turns off, says is offline, and only stays on for no more than 1 minute when I am attempting to do anything to it.

SOLUTION: After a 1:57 hold time with Canon customer service.... I have the solution! (and that was 2 hours, not 2 minutes) If this is happening to you it is very easily fixed. [Removed per forum guidelines] Although I wish I could make up for my 2 + hours of time. The tech told me that when they walked into the office Tuesday morning, "the stuff had hit the fan" because this has affected many models and they don't know what caused it. Here is what you need to do to fix it:

Completely unplug your router and then turn on your printer (it won't stay on if your router is because of a linking problem with the router, that we are going to fix.)  So this is the step-by-step for the MG6620 and probably those models with similar menus, but whatever model you have just try to get to your DNS Server Setup. That is where the setting is that needs manually changed. So for the MG6620:

On the menu swipe to Setup, then find Web Service Setup then DNS Server Setup. Select Manual.  Press each set of numbers and change them all to 000 except the last set. That needs to be 001. So your DNS will look like this: 000.000.000.001  Click OK, then click No.

That's it. You should be good to print.

You are welcome!  Too bad someone at Canon doesn't just post this somewhere. Would've save a lot of people a lot of headaches, I'm sure. 

 

 

Thank you for taking one for the team. This fix worked!
