Pixma iP110 will not turn on

[kimrru]

Hello all,

I have a Pixma iP110 printer that will not turn on. The printer is only pulled out of a drawer for printing on occasion, so it's not plugged in all the time. We've printed 2 times since mid-April to provide an idea of the frequency the printer is used. New toner was installed mid-April.

• When pressing the power button, the toner moves (sometimes), the light flashes for 15 seconds (timed) and then the light goes out.
• The printer is using WiFi, so it's not plugged into any computer.
• Out of the 3 buttons, the light on the power button is the only one that flashes.

Any feedback is appreciated. Thank you!

I used my personal Canon ip110 quite a bit at school to print out all sorts of things. I just moved my printer into my home office for the summer to continue working. My experience is the same as angelsfan1: The printer is powered on, it cycles through its startup, ink cartridges move back and forth, then all of a sudden it shuts off. The printer is plugged into my USB, so it's not Wifi related. I believe we all have experienced a software update that tells the printer to perform an auto-shutdown after 15 seconds. Unfortunately, the printer will not stay powered up long enough to perform an update or to restore a previous update. I had similar issues with a Canon Pixma printer about 5 years ago where it would not power up, even with a new power pack/cord. I am disappointed with Canon, because this is clearly not a hardware issue when we all are experiencing the same exact issue.

I totally agree. I'm experiencing the same exact problem you are experiencing & I can't afford to go buy the same type of printer, knowing that they'll remotely shut it down.

I also dont think this is a hardware issue.

The printer goes through all the normal turn on cycle functions and then the goes dead (no power light). You can repeat this over and over. 

If you do this with the wifi network its trying to connect too turned off .. it does not die after cycling .. but shows the wifi not connected lamp - as you would expect

Then .. if you turn on you wifi network again .. it dies as soon as the network is up.

I am thinking about doing a reset settings on the printer but dont want to do that until I see if there is some better advice

that does not work because the printer powers off rather quick

my printer IP110 just had the same problem after power on , 9 blinks and the power off .There is no way you can do anything about it. Please help as this is ridiculous

[lexvanos56]

no power , so nothing to modify

What it's extremely suspicious and obvious at the same time, is that we all are having the same issue within two days of one another.

My printer stopped working yesterday 01/06/22 and it had been working beautifully the past 7 years, never a single issue.

It was connected to wifi, though now it won't last in enough to reset it. I have tried with a USB instead but it won't communicate with the laptop.

I just fixed the issue following someone else's advice here. I don't know why this happens, but turn off your wifi, connect the printer via a USB and you will be able to print. Make sure to switch off the wifi first !!

Thanks !! It worked for me.

The techy explanation was too much, but I just turned off the wifi router and the printer went back on again, blue light is on.

Next step is to try and reset the wifi connection on the printer, but in all honesty, I may skip that and keep working with a USB cable from now on. I don't want another nasty surprise from Canon in a near future... Thanks again !! (You saved my daughter from missing a school deadline)
