topic Cannon Printer MX298 Printer Issues in General Discussion

Posting section

Drbrown — Sun, 13 May 2018 17:23:02 GMT

I have a question I would love to post. The only tab that has a "NEW MESSAGE" button is "GENERAL DISCUSSION". I have read the replies from the other people having similar problems but the directions were inaccurate. Am I completely intellectually incompetent or is there some thing wrong with the site?

Hi Drbrown!

Once you are on the main forum page, found at http://community.usa.canon.com/t5/Canon-Forum/ct-p/Canon_Forum, you will see a list of categories like "EOS," "EOS Rebel," 'Personal Printers," "Office Printers," and so on. Once you click on one of those forums you will see a red "New Message" box in the top-left corner to allow you to post. If you continue to run into any difficulty, let us know which product you have that you wish to post a message about and we'll link you directly to that particular forum to post.

We hope this helps and look forward to your contributions!

I have just joined the Community and cannot get started. I cannot find a "New Topic" link or a way to ask a question. I apologize for breaking in to this topic, but I hope you will take a moment to help. Thank you.

Thanks, but the link you gave me takes me to essentially the same page I was on. About, camera, printer cinema eos etc

and no way to post a new message.

Clincking on the printer, i see the provate message button but I'm prettly sure that won't help.

Here's my problem my iX 6820 has suddenly started spitting errors, B200 and now 1403. And I have deadlines.

Thanks

Moon photos did not save

Rasklein — Tue, 22 Jan 2019 21:49:42 GMT

I ws shooting the eclipse onthe 21st and many of my photos did not save while others did. I also had the message of Exp SIM and I have read that this indicates something about not bieng enough light. The image was clearly shown on my live view when I hit the shutter button but it did not save. The ones that did not save were the ones that were the largest and the brightest.

I was using a Tamron 18 - 400 mm lense on a 80 D body.

Cannon Printer MX298 Printer Issues

Sdragonetti — Fri, 21 Feb 2020 13:47:53 GMT

I have ben having a lot of problem with my Cannon printer. First it started with the 5011 error which based on this forum I can fix only termprarily by turning off and pressing the power and cancel button. Now it seems to have lost communication with my wireless router and I can't print. When I check the spool it shows error printing. Everytime I try to hit the LAN connection on the printer to re-establish the connection I get the 5011 error again. When I turn off the printer, it won't turn back on. I then have to unplug the power button and plug it back on again. I've been trying to fix or about 2 weeks now and about ready to chuck it Any suggestions?

delete the printer driver

reinstall the printer

It's a pain in the butt, but seems to fix it

Re: Adding MX922 Printer to Samsung Android phone

KatherineKeller — Thu, 30 Jul 2020 21:11:15 GMT

My MX922 printer is functioning off my Lenovo Ideapad 320. I am also trying to set the printer up to print from my Samsung 11 Android phone via WIFI. I am unable to find the IP address from my Windows 10 settings on my Lenovo ideapad 320. It shows it as : 0000.0010.0000.006.001.000.000.000.000 and that is swiftly rejected as an IP Address. I have also identified it in my phone as Ip4 or Ip6 which is also rejected as an IP address. I have also gone through the steps on the menu on the printer itself with the same result. I find nothing that remotely looks like an IP Address. When my phone scans for nearby devices, it does not pick anything up. Can this not be done? If someone has done this, will you please tell me how?

Hello,

I have been struggling to find how to post new message. Read all the prior messages on how to but still do not find the New message button.

Why is it so difficult?
