Hello - my printer prints and copies fine, but when I try to scan to my pc, it just says processing and then returns to the main screen without any movement of the scanner.  I am using Windows 8.

Has this not been answered? I have the exact same problem.

Hi LCaulkins,

 

Are you also using Windows 8?

Are you using your PIXMA MX922 with a USB cable or are you using your PIXMA MX922 wirelessly?

I am having the same issue and was going to try your directions, but unfortunately, I cannot find the CDROM.  Is there a download for it?

 

Thank you.

Hi, grandma6245!

 

You can download the drivers and apps for your PIXMA MX922 for free right HERE.  We hope this helps!

My problem isn't that my MX922 won't scan -- the issue is that it doesn't do so in true color.

 

I used it to print a saved file of a dark-green sign; the print came out dark green, as it should have.

I then scanned that printout, and sent the file to my computer; for some reason, the green was noticeably lighter. Other colors in the sign were similarly muted. Scan resolution was at 300dpi.

I printed out this new image scanned from the first print. The second print was, again, a good deal lighter than the first.

To see if it was a printer/computer disagreement (I'd heard there may be some issues interfacing with Windows 10), I took the computer out of the loop entirely, and simply had the printer COPY the original printout, again at 300dpi. This time, the colors were noticeably DARKER than the original, to the point that the dark green was almost black.

 

Are you aware of any reports of the Canon MX922 not scanning in true color?

Hi Patrick, I've reinstalled as you say, and now the problem is back. Can only scan from IJ Scan Utility, no action or error message if I try to scan from the printer. I can't keep reinstalling every couple months. What now?

Hi ScannerWontScan,

 

In order to better assist you, allow me to ask a couple questions:

 

  • Are you connecting wirelessly, or with USB?
  • Are you able to make a photocopy?
  • Which version of Windows or Macintosh are you using ?

I look forward to your reply.
