Used to scan fine wirelessly to my Mac, as recently as a few months ago.
Occasionally will mysteriously work.
I have rebooted the router, connected over and over with wps (pita and has to be done over and over, works sometimes yes and sometimes no). Rebooted the scanner. Rebooted the computer. Have also uninstalled/reinstalled drivers every way possible.
Reconfigured in IJ network utility.
Try to scan, and in the scan menu it shows the name of my macbook at the bottom of the screen on the printer. But it tells me to 'set the pc to start scanning.' Then will not let me do so. Even though the name is RIGHT THERE.
And the network is listed in the settings, and the password saved. (have done extensive rebooting).
IJ scan utility says "searching for printer" and even though it is added, can't find it. It does detect that I just hit the scan button on the printer though. So it knows it's there, it just doesn't fully connect.
Then I get a 'can't communicate with scanner" error.
Drops out and occasionally has the red x symbol on the wifi, however, it doesn't scan when it shows connected either. Right now wifi is connected, no red x.
Our internet is solid and the signal is strong.
My workflow is not practical to initiate it from the computer which is suggested as a workaround. I am trying to fix the scanner to work as it should. I want it to automatically connect (as it previously did), scan to my computer and that's it.
I am very close to flinging this thing off a high cliff and never buying a Canon printer again.
Canon charges for technical support, which isn't helpful. Their products should work and they should help you if they do not.
Can someone help? Canon tech support, are you out there?
Thank you
