Wireless Printer Won't Wake From Energy Saver.

Hi - 

 

I have a Canon ImageClass 6160 printer.  I have been using this printer for 2 years without a problem.  Recently it started to go into energy saver mode and won't wake up.  I have to turn the printer off for at least 5 minutes, turn it back on, and then it begins to print the jobs I had previously sent.

 

I have read similar posts on the forum, but cannot figure out the problem.  I currently have a Netgear Nighthawk X6 router - I am not sure if something in the router settings changed during a recent reboot that is causing this problem.

 

thank you for your help.

Get to this screen.  Set the printer to "printer" in the dropdown and you are good.  That's my printer at the bottom of the screen.

Sure happy to help! 

Hi,

I have a Netgear Orbi and logged in like you said and the printer is set to printer, but still doesn't wake from eco mode.

Any thoughts?
