632C/634C Image class scanner stops communicating

[denlaw1217]

OK, I have tried everything posted here--for months--nothing, I repeat, nothing works. My 632C/634 Image class scanner inexplicably stops communicating with my MacBook Pro. Mind you, my circa 2012 Brother 2360DW never does that. I can even ask this very same Canon machine about supply levels AND the scanner still doesn't work IMMEDIATELY AFTER I print a document with it--so spare me the "its your network/computer." Before I gleefully pound a long-handled 10 pound sledge to this $400 piece of junk, any last minute reprieves?
