Canon PIXMA TR4520 Offline Fix – Step-by-Step

Category: Troubleshooting · Brand: Canon

The Canon PIXMA TR4520 is a wireless all-in-one, and an offline status is one of the most common issues users report. It's almost always a network or driver issue — not a hardware failure.

Quick Check: Is the TR4520 Connected to Wi-Fi?

  1. On the printer, press Setup (wrench icon) > Device Settings > LAN settings > Wireless LAN setup
  2. Or print a Network Configuration Page: hold the Stop button for 5 seconds
  3. Confirm the printer shows a valid IP address on the printout

Fix 1: Set Printer Online in Windows

  1. Open Control Panel > Devices and Printers
  2. Right-click Canon PIXMA TR4520

  5. Try printing

Fix 2: Clear the Print Queue

  1. In the print queue, click Printer > Cancel All Documents
  2. Press Windows + R > services.msc
  3. Find Print Spooler > right-click > Restart

Fix 3: Reconnect to Wi-Fi

If the TR4520 dropped from your network:

  1. Press Setup > Device Settings > LAN settings > Wireless LAN setup
  2. Select Standard setup
  3. Choose your Wi-Fi network and enter the password

Fix 4: Update the Port IP Address

After a router restart, the printer's IP may have changed:

  2. Control Panel > Devices and Printers > right-click TR4520 > Printer properties > Ports
  3. Select the port > Configure Port > update the IP address

Fix 5: Remove and Re-add the Printer

  2. Add a printer > The printer I want isn't listed
  3. Add a printer using TCP/IP address > enter the IP from the Network Configuration Page
