I have an MX920. Worked fine on previous desktop. Had a new drive installed in the computer and cannot get it to print. Windows 11. The test page prints just fine. Attempting to print something else results in a message "printer not activated, error code -30. I tried using the original disc for driver installation, and I downloaded from Canon. Set it as default printer. Turned printer off/on. Turned desktop off/on.

I fixed mine! Don't know if this will work for you or not.

When I told it to print I hadn't looked at what printer it was trying to access in the upper part of the drop down menu for printer options that pops up after I select "print". Mine only had FAX on the MX922 listed and other printers w/o drivers that I didn't install.

I went to the bluetooth/devices in settings. Then printers/scanners and removed every printer it was showing. Then I selected "add device" and had it find the MX922/MX920 and installed it. Then, when I tried to print again that option was available in that print drop down menu. After selecting that printer it worked just fine.

I hope this helps/works for others as well.

Maybe the error code -30 is from some other printer that the system is finding.
