hello,
i have tried to find solutions to my problems through this forum and the web, but can't seem to find any so i thought i would reach out. btw, canon support people, i have been on hold now for 1 hour 22 minutes and counting!
overview:
- newly purchased canon MF236n, wired to home network.
- corp computer, that allows for admin access to work domain, but does not allow me to add a local user or local admin
ok. here are my issues:
- when i try to load the canon software downloaded it states that i don't have admin rights to change the computer. i have tried adding the [checkadmin] flag and adding a local user, but neither has worked. anyone have any other suggestions?
- the energy saver/sleep timer doesnt work. i have tried changing the time and also just pressing the button on the front panel. is this because it is hardwired to a network? seems odd because my old MF4370dn had no such problems going to and coming out of sleep mode.
thanks in advance for any help.
1 hour 26 minutes and counting on hold....
1 hour 30 minutes....
bingo at 1 hour 31 minutes... yeah!
ok. so here is a solution for my admin rights issue:
- the computer i am trying to load the software on connects via vpn to work and i have admin rights in my work domain. start the software connected to vpn, once it starts looking for the software, disconnect from vpn. once it finds the printer, restart vpn and finish the installation. amazingly stupid way to do it, but it worked.
- and now, after doing a test scan on the printer it has gone in to sleep mode!!
i hope this helped someone, but i am all good.
