MG2922 won't print at all.

[cassiemarie1005]

I just bought the PIXMA MG2922 and it won't print anything. Just throws everything into queue. I have tried to troubleshoot and nothing helps. Just says the only issue is that it's not the default printer. I'm running Windows 10.

Hi cassiemarie1005,

Please try the following to resolve the issue:

1. From the Start menu, click Settings, Devices, Printers & Scanners.
2. Towards the bottom of the Printers & Scanners area, turn off Let Windows manage my default printer.
3. Once this has been done, reinstall the printer drivers and software.  You may have to delete any extra icons of the printer in the Printers & Scanners menu in the Control Panel.

Should you still experience difficulty, please call 1-866-261-9362, Monday - Friday 10:00 a.m. - 10:00 p.m. ET (excluding holidays) and a Canon technical support representative will be happy to further assist you.  There is no charge for this call.

I just had the same issue a while ago upon taking it out of the box.  I played around some and I got it to work:

In the printer que message box, at the top there's a drop-down menu under "Printer"

Click on Printer.

Click on Properties (at the bottom of the list)

A menu will pop-up with tabs running across; click on the fourth tab "Advanced"

Here you will see that it shows "Driver ______whatever printers you have; choose the mg2500 series____________________   ___________________ New Drive (BUTTON)"

Click on New Drive.

You will be met with a two column list.  Choose Canon on the left side then scroll down to the MG2500 series on the right column.  Click okay.


For some reason Windows 10 needs that extra permission I guess?  Hell idk but I hope this helps!

Why won't my printer print a Publisher Document. It was printing earlier but my ink was low, then it just stopped printing, so I replaced the ink and it still won't print. It printed this page but won't print my document anymore.
When you say reinstall the printer drivers and software, do I delete the printer all together and reinstall? Thank you, Trish

Hi tacastillo,

Are you able to print from other applications other than Publisher?

If you are unable to print from any application, reinstalling may help.

What version of Windows (or OSX) is installed on your computer?

Are you using your PIXMA MG2922 wirelessly?   or with a USB cable?

This worked for me. I just bought the same model except without wireless (MG-2522) running Windows 10 also and had the same problem... It would copy but all print jobs just going into queue and sitting there. I tried this and worked perfectly.
