Canon Pixma MX490 powers on and goes through initialization, then powers back off. Keeps repeating the process as long as it's plugged in. Buttons are non-responsive.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Having same issue. Glad to see I'm in good company, but frustrated that there's still not a fix from Canon. Just ordered 2 new cartridges. Looks like I'll be returning them and getting a new non-Canon printer if this isn't resolved shortly.

@twister65 is my Twitter account. Already found two others on Twitter with the same issue and no response yet from Canon.

when the Wi-fi is off then it powers on and goes through - but did not have success with the usb connection either

Well i had that issue 3 days ago - tuned it off thinking the printer was busted - it printed out stuff once and went back to the stupid poser cycle over and over again - it seems its a firmware issue - gonna see if it will work via usb - just got new inks - this is so stupid

Thank you! This worked for me as well.
Question: If Canon issues a update to correct this issue, how do we undo your "fix" (go back to the settings prior to implementing your "fix")?

the Printer works fine on USB connection - hooked up straight to the computer - the wirelesses part of the Firmware is screwed up it seems - been using the printer for few years and it was fine - always hooked up to Wi-fi, my kid needed to print paper for his homework and the printer started power-cycling again - looked at the posts above and disabled the wirelesses downloaded the original drivers installed - and hooked up via usb and it works - BUT as soon as the Wi-FI is back on it goes all crazy again - is there a way to reset the wi-fi connection ? or disable ? don't want to buy another printer after spending so much on 2 sets of brand new XL inks

thats manual setup on the printer itself?
