My PIXMA MG2522 only prints the top left quarter of the page

My PIXMA MG2522 printer has started to print the whole document in the upper left quarter of the page, despite the paper size print setting being set to Letter and the printer default paper size being set to US Letter. The print preview shows the full page ready to print. This happens no matter if I print from a Word document, Chrome, Outlook...

Help!

No error messages appear at all. I use a macOS. Connect to printer via USB. 

macOS comes in multiple versions that can impact how the community directs your next steps.

Currently running on macOS Big Sur, Version 11.6.7.

Hi roseytrue,

Please follow these steps:

 1.  Click on the Apple in the upper left corner and then System Preferences.

2.  Click on Printers & Scanners.

3.  Click on the Canon MG2500 on the left side and then [-] at the bottom to remove it.

4.  Repeat until all MG2500's are removed.

5.  Click on the [+].  The Add Printer window will appear.

6.  If your MG2500 does not show up, please disconnect the USB cable and reconnect it.  Also, please make sure that your PIXMA MG2522 is powered on.

7.  Click 1 time on your MG2500 in the list and then click the Add button at the bottom.

Once reinstalled, please attempt to print.

Tried this and still having the same issue. Any other suggestions?

Hi,

Do you have the MG2522/MG2525 CUPS Printer Driver Ver.16.40.1.0 installed?

We look forward to your reply. 

Driver version 16.40.1.0 is currently installed/being used.

Hi,

When you add the printer in printers and scanners, what is listed for name, kind and type. Does it list the Canon driver being used? 

We look forward to your reply.
