Pixma MX490 Keeps Cycling

[elstx61]

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.

Which Twitter account did you post to?  I was searching to do the same.

This is what fixed my printer. Post it on Twitter

This is not a fix. It is a workaround to solve the problem Canon caused. Less than 5% of people owning these printers are capable of implementing this 'fix'

Almost midnight and printer is still not working. Beyond upset, it’s clearly not the machine itself fault if we are all having the same issue. Printer has been working fine for years and was working just a few days ago. Very upsetting that canon refuses to fix this problem and just tell us to “buy a new printer” when this is something fixable. Not only do the machine themselves work but this contributes to the ever growing electric waste. In our culture the first solution to our problems shouldn’t be to just buy a new machine, especially when the problem seems to be an easy fix on canons end. If canon does not fix this problem I definitely know what brand I won’t be buying.

No Arthur this is not a solution 

[Stephaniequiroz]

This seems false as the likely hood of all our machines breaking at the exact same time seems slim
