PIXMA MG2500 Laptop Says Printer Not Found

[Bettyboop7]

I recently purchased a Cannon Pixma MG2500 printer and hooked it up to my laptop using the USB cable that was included. I am having a hard time setting up the printer to the laptop. It keeps saying not found, not recognized. Can you help?

If you have the option for wireless connection you might want to try that, by entering the Wifi/router password manually on the printer display. I recently had a very similar problem trying to connect/find my new PIXMA TS5320a printer using my Mac OS Ventura 13.1.  I still cannot connect using the USB cable but the wireless connection works.
