Never able to get MX494 to work properly

[entreprenewer]

• MX494 PIXMA - firmware up to date
• Mac OS X latest version
• Timecapsule Airport
• DRX setting Inactive
• Access control OFF

Able to connect to network, but it shuts off after a time. Shows on OS X, but printer doesn't respond.

I literally am NEVER able to get this printer to work... and the rare occasions when it HAS worked, it disconnects after a a few seconds, minutes, hours, or days.

HOW do I make it work?

I've also tried setting up with an iPhone, nothing works. Literally nothing.
When I print network settings, it as an IPv4 and IPv6 address... but nothing.

And after a while, it just disconnects and shows an X on the wifi logo. This printer is IMPOSSIBLE!

You won't believe what the issue was...

I had the printer and the router hooked up to the same electrical socket with a power strip...

Ran a cable to another power outlet - problem solved.
