This is a legitimate third-party tool (WIC Reset). It is not free (usually ~$10–$15 per reset), but it is safe, signed, and actively maintained. It works on almost all Canon printers that the V3400 supports.
To use the tool effectively, the printer must first be placed into Service Mode. This is usually achieved by a specific sequence of button presses involving the Power and Resume buttons while the device is unplugged and then reconnected. Once the printer is in this state, the V3400 software can communicate with the hardware via a USB connection. It is important to note that this tool generally does not work over Wi-Fi or network connections; a stable physical cable is required.
