MG2220 Installation Help

[reh888]

This should be easy. I bought a simple printer, not even wireless. Plug and play. But during the installation on Step 3 it loses connection with the printer. I've unplugged and replugged. I've cancelled, rebooted, and started over. Quite a few times now. Step 3 says it's connected and to just wait, and I look back a few minutes later and no more connection. Could use some ideas here.

Well screw it. I have a deadline, it's going back to Walmart.

Like reh888, I have the same issue. It get's to step 3, then loses connection to the printer yet the printer is still on. I have Windows 8 64bit. I have uninstalled, reinstalled with no luck. Then finally I think I have a breakthrough and according to my device manager, the driver is installed. However, the scanner option is not working. It's like there is no scanner. So I reboot my computer and then the driver for the printer is not there again. I go through the whole install again to no avail. Any suggestions as to why this happens? I even tried to install after using clean boot with win 8. I'm frustrated and thinking I'm taking it back to the store tomorrow.

This has got to be the most unhelpful thread I've ever seen. For the record, the Epson I bought after returning the uncooperative Canon works perfectly, and that's the most helpful piece of info here.
