PIXMA TR4522 will not scan

[markkuester]

I am trying to scan using the document feeder.   I press the scan button, then the start button.   The printer screen reads "please wait a while".  Nothing happens, it never feeds or scans.

The I am unable to print often.   I have to recycle the printer and sometimes run the Windows troubleshooter.
