Unable to connect to Canon Pixma TR8560 scanner

The wireless scanning function of my Canon Pixma TR8560 has stopped working. The printer still works perfectly (wirelessly). I can connect via USB to the Pixma and scan that way. otherwise, nothing. I've restarted, reinstalled, removed and added the printer. Nothing works. ☹️


Mac OS 12.3.1


Any ideas?

Solution: a Canon support person fixed the problem for me! It involved disabling the IPv6 on the Pixma.


The process was:


1. Go to Settings on the Pixma.


2. Select Device Settings.


3. Select LAN Settings.


4. Select Common Settings.


5. Select TCP/IP Settings.


6. Select IPv6. Press OK. Choose disable. 



I was so happy when it worked! 😀
