Jul 19, 2011. I have a canon ir 2016 with the 'download standby' message. I know this is a firmware issue and tried to get the cd part # fy9-4240-003. I am told it.
I fixed the problem: 1. Unplug printer from power source and wait a few minutes. While waiting, restart the computer (I didn't shut down and reboot, just restarted it.) 3. Plug printer back into power source. Do not turn printer on immediately. Instead, hold down the STOP key on the printer and keep it pressed down as you turn the power button ON.
Keep holding the STOP key down until the printer has completely booted up, then release it. That got everything working again and allowed me to print my document.
