Service Notice: UPDATE: Canon Inkjet Printer continuous reboot loop or powering down

[TeamPrinter]

Canon U.S.A., Inc. has recently become aware of a situation where select Canon inkjet printers continuously reboot or power down after the Canon logo appears if the product is connected to the internet. If this occurs, the printer cannot be used.

▆ Update

When a printer is powered on and connected to the Internet, it will access an external server. Beginning on May 30, 2022, an update in information sent from the external server to the affected printer models resulted in an error that caused it to go through a continuous reboot or power down.

On June 7, 2022, the matter was resolved.

Note:  If the printer continues to reboot, turn it off or unplug the power cord from the printer.  Wait up to ten seconds, and then power on the printer.

▆ Recommended Action

Although the matter is resolved, we recommend that the affected printer models’ firmware be updated to help prevent risk of reoccurrence.

Below are options to update the firmware on the affected printer models.

•  Option One (Recommended)

On nearly all the affected printer models listed below, the firmware can be updated from the printer’s operational panel while it is connected to the Internet.  The printer’s display will typically indicate when a firmware is available for updating via the operational panel.

See the table below to confirm if this option is supported by your printer.  If supported, click "Yes" under Option One for your printer model in the table below.  This will take you to Canon’s knowledgebase article for detailed instructions on updating the firmware.

• Option Two

For printer models whose firmware cannot be updated via the operational panel, the Remote User Interface (also referred to as Remote UI) can be used for this purpose.

See the table below to confirm if this option is supported by your printer.  If supported, click "Yes" under Option Two for your printer model in the table below.  This will take you to Canon’s knowledgebase article for detailed instructions on updating the firmware.

• Option Three

Alternatively, the firmware for each of the affected printer models can be updated immediately using an updater that is currently available on Canon’s website.  To use the updater, see the requirements listed below.  Please click "Yes" under Option Three for your printer model in the table below.  If the website does not automatically detect the computer’s operating system, select it from the Operating System drop-down.

v Requirements for Option Three:

• USB cable
• Printer’s driver installed on the computer in which the firmware update will be performed

Affected printer models and link to its respective firmware update procedure:

Model	Option One (Update Firmware from Operation Panel)	Option Two (Update Firmware using Remote UI)	Option Three (Update Firmware using Updater)
PIXMA iP110	-	Yes	Yes
MAXIFY iB4020	Yes	Yes	Yes
MAXIFY MB2020	Yes	Yes	Yes

I started having exactly the same problem today with my PIXMA E480. You need to update firmware for this printer also.

Danny, are you all fixing this issue? Your printer is now worthless and clearly due to some issue with Canon.  I use printer (pixma 110) with my iphone only so your fixes are not helpful.  How can i use with my phone

Given all the posts about this topic it might be good if this was posted at the top of the board like a "sticky".

I have the same issue with a Canon maxify MB5050. Is it possible to produce a firmware update for this printer (my os is ubuntu 20.0.4 LTS) ?

Thanks,

[Danny]
