Canon PIXMA MG5422 - how to change the destination on the printer

[yoja1979]

The printer works great, but my pc died and I got a new pc.  The pc displayed on the printer is my old pc.  How do I change the printer?  It won't let me scan from the printer as it did before I changed pc's.  I can get it to scan from the pc but it will only do one page at a time.

Thanks.

Hi yoja1979,

What version of Windows is installed on your computer?
Are you using your PIXMA MG5422 wirelessly?  Or with a USB cable?

This worked great for the multiple page scanning.  Do you know how to get the PC name on the printers display changed to my new pc?

Terrific!  I knew it couldn't be that difficult but it was driving me crazy figuring it out.
