I did get another Canon but I won't recommend it because the jury is still out. I went for low price, and I'm still getting used to this printer's quirks. I didn't feel like exploring other brands. I will never ever ever buy an HP, for instance - long story. Good luck to you.

Hi peislanddave,

With your PIXMA MX492 on, please press the Scan button on your MX492 to enter Scan mode.

Next, please press the Menu button.

"Scan menu / Save to" will appear.  Press the OK button once.

Use the right arrow to choose "Search again" and press OK.

Once the search is done, by using the left or right arrow buttons, does your computer name now appear?
