I have had aa PIXMA 922 for several years and never had a problem. Now I cannot scan.

I get error that it cannot communicate with the scanner. Code 5, 157,69

Does anyone have a solution? Thanks!

Hi rmaginniss.

To help the community provide helpful suggestions, please provide the following information:

How is the MX922 connected to the computer?

What operating system is running on the computer?

Have there been any changes to your network recently? (new devices, new router/modem, recent power outages, etc.)

Hello.

If the printer is being used wirelessly, check to make sure that the "Network" version of the scanner is selectedin the scanner menu at the top of the program. Also temporarily disable any firewall or anti-spyware programs on the PC to see if this will allow you to scan.

Thanks for the suggestion. It was set on Network. I disabled the firewall and antivirus and it still will not scan. Any other ideas to help?
