I've had the TR8520 printer since late September with no problems but we recently updated our routers firmware and can no longer print. I'm not positive this was the cause, just a guess. I'm on windows 10 and am getting 'canon tr8500 series' is in an error state or just plain error, no codes given. Both my huband and I have tried to uninstall and reinstall and still can't print. I can however scan from my computer with no probelms so it's recognizing the wireless connection for me to be able to get an image from the scanner to my computer. My husband plugged in the USB and can now print but my only option would be wireless so I still can't print.

Yes, this is what I did.

It worked, but I had to choose 'Canon (copy 2)'

If I did not choose 'copy 2' I would get the same error.

I was on the phone with tech support for a long time, and it did not solve the problem unfortunately. It happened shortly after the update as well, just as in your case.

Hopefully tech support was able to help you.

I followed your instructions but I'm still getting print error. The printer said it was connected to the wireless router. I removed the Canon TR8500 device. There were no others there to remove. I uninstalled the Canon TR8500 series MP Drivers. I rebooted and then dowloaded the drivers and reinstalled. Now the only printer listed is Canon TR8500 series FAX which of course gives the same error when trying to print.

Questions: 1. Can my husband's computer be connected via USB to the printer while I am wireless or must both be wireless?

2. Should I uninstall everything Canon and in what order and then start all over as if I just bought this printer?

3. Does my husband need to do the same?
