mY PIXIMA works except for one thing. I have, the settings set to start printing from the last page, but it starts from the first page, every single time. sometimes it does not the bottom of the page. i love canon, from video, to cameras, but this printer is driving me nuts. If any has any idea of a fix please help!

Just to be sure. Do you mean it starts printing from the first page of a multi-page file when you want it to print from the last page of that file?

There's a note on page 243 in the User Manual:

"When the application software that you used to create the document has the same function, specify the settings on the printer driver. However, if the print results are not acceptable, specify the function settings on the application software. When you specify the number of copies and the printing order with both the application software and this printer driver, the number of copies may be multiplied numbers of the two settings or the specified printing order may not be enabled."

What software are you printing from (e.g. Microsoft Word)? I read that note as application's own print settings (e.g. inside Word) may lead to issues. So check to see if that application has a "print from last page" setting and turn it off. Then, in the printer driver itself, turn that feature on.

Hi Allen! Thanks for contributing to the Canon community. I see that your TR4720 is printing the first page first (instead of the last).

The default setting on the printer driver is to print from the last page first, so you do not need to go into the driver settings and try to change that. If you did go into the driver settings, you may have turned that setting off instead of turning it on. Therefore, I recommend that you delete the printer from your computer's list of printers, and then reinstall the printer driver.

To delete the printer from your Windows computer, please do the following:

Click on the Windows symbol in the bar at the bottom of your screen (to the left of the search option).
Click on the Settings symbol (mechanical gear).
Click on Bluetooth & Devices in the left column.
Click on Printers & Scanners in the right column.
Click on the Canon TR4700 series that is in the printer's list.
Click on the REMOVE button in the top right corner of the window (to the right of the picture of the printer) and follow any windows that pop up to finish deleting the printer.

Once the printer is deleted, please RIGHT-click on the following link and select "Open link in a new tab."

https://pdisp01.c-wss.com/gdl/WWUFORedirectTarget.do?id=MDEwMDAxMTE2ODA1&cmp=ABR&lang=EN

When you do that, the program that installs the driver will begin to download. When the program finishes downloading, please open the file (file name: md__-win-e4500_tr4600_tr4700-1_04-ea34_2.exe) and allow it to run. Then, follow the screens that pop up to finish the installation.

When the driver has finished installing, a new copy of the printer will be automatically added to your computer. From there, please open the file that you want to print and print it (without changing any settings). (Note: If the document that you want to print is already open, please close it and then reopen it before printing). The print from last page should already be turned on, so you don't need to turn it on.

If your document is still printing from the first page (instead of last), then the settings on your application are overriding the printer driver settings. I would recommend looking at the print settings on the application and switch the printing order there. If you are not sure how to do that, please refer to the application instructions or contact the company that developed that application.

If you need further assistance from Canon, I recommend calling in so we can help you in real-time. If you have already created a Canon account and registered the printer, you can reach Canon support by calling toll-free 1-800-652-2666.

If you haven't created a Canon account and registered the printer, you can do that at the following website:

After you register the printer, you will be able to see what support options you have by clicking on the Get Support option in the left column of your Canon Account page. If you have phone support available to you, you can call 1-800-652-2666.

If you prefer to continue this conversation within the community website, please reply to this post and tell us which application you are using to print your document. Also, please tell us if you experience the same issue (printing starts with first page) if you print from a different application (such as WordPad or NotePad.

I hope this helps. Thanks again.
