PIXMA MG2522 won't initialize, won't print

My new printer won't initialize. I've downloaded the printer driver and installed it, but the printer won't print (the green light keeps blinking). How do I get it to initialize???

My system is Windows 11. The green light keeps blinking, which I think means it's not initializing (never goes full green).

Hi there!

I'm not a tech, but I'm happy to offer some advice!

Try re-installing the setup software from https://canon.us/MG2522setup 

It will uninstall the drivers & software and re-install the most current version. It also walks you through the whole setup process of adding it to your WiFi network.

I hope this is helpful!

Thanks! I'll try that...

Isn't the green power light supposed to be on? It's still blinking, so the initial problem is still there.
