wireless printers in a continuous power cycle

[ladyinred]

So it doesn't seem like there has been any input from Canon about this problem they caused with our wireless printers stuck in a power cycle loop.  Seems there are a couple of work-arounds, but no fixes.  I ended up hooking up mine to the computer with USB cable, which makes it no longer able to take print requests from any wireless devices.  But since my printer is no longer connected to my home network and to the internet, if Canon does send a fix, I won't get it.  I was wondering it this is a localized problem?  If it is only with certain internet providers?  Is it nationwide?  Worldwide?  I'm in Georgia with Comcast as my internet provider.  Any thoughts?

I'm in Georgia and T-Mobile is my internet provider. Looks like it's not region specific.

There is a manual workaround, worked for me:

Thanks for commenting about this on multiple threads. My friend was banned from the Canon Community earlier today for urging Canon's Arthur J to provide some updates instead of offering nothingburger "fixes." Go figure!

I also was banned from one page, weird because I only mention to Arthur J that calling support was pointless

The silence from Canon is deafening 🤖

I'll probably get that too by saying something is Shady.
