Canon Pixma Printer MG7550 and Macbook Pro Communication Failure
I am unable to print from any device without first "waking up" the printer. once awake it will print fine but leave it for a short period and the system preferences Printers and Scanners messages with "unable to find printer", "looking for printer" etc. I then set up from scratch inputting the router password and all is fine until the next time. Contacted Canon, they referred me to Apple because according to them it is an operating system error. Spent an hour talking to Apple support - initially the problem appeared resolved but unfortunately not so. It has been suggested that it could be something to do with my router settings and IP addresses and that perhaps the printer should have a fixed IP address. Unfortunately, this may have been communicated to me in Urdo for what sense that conveys in terms of applying that information! Any help in solving this tiresome conundrum would be appreciated.
It does seem that this issue occurred following my change of ISP and having a Vodafone router.
