Unable to reach printer support

The answer machine does not recognize the phone number in the account so I can not get passed the answer machine.  Any suggestions what to do?

Hi Techcoor,

 

Welcome to the Canon forum! So that we can provide you with the best support options and information, please let us know the model printer.

The printer is MX922

What I am trying to figure out is how to get the IJ Scan Utility to allow me to name the scanned file. 

If you're unable to access your Canon Account under that phone number, please try creating a new one, then use support options to reach our technical group for more assistance with this issue at: https://mycanon.usa.canon.com/signin

I've tried every variation and nothing gets me to support. Apparently the phone tree doesn't recognize my phone number even though it is accurate in my profile.
And I have a dead PIXMA G4210 printer with an unknown error code 01

I tried that; this approach doesn't work either. So apparently Canon phone support doesn't exist. Used to take a long time to get through but now it is simply blocked by a phone tree that doesn't work

In order for the system to recognize that you're entitled to support, you have to call from the phone that's registered on your My Canon Account. It will not recognize that you're entitled to support if you call from a work phone, or an alternate number. You'll want to verify your information on canon.us/account

I called from the phone number on my account; not recognized. I called from a different number and entered my correct phone number; not recognized. Same thing twice more. Then I created a new Canon account with a different email and phone number. That number wasn't recognized either. Finally, one time the phone tree gave up asking me for my phone number and instead asked me if the printer was less than 3 years old. I pressed 1 for yes and the phone went silent. But, it turns out I was on hold and eventually (40 minutes or so), Bill picked up from support. Fortunately, he was able to solve the problem

 

But: there is a big problem with your phone system not knowing or recognizing valid phone numbers. Serious problem that needs to be fixed asap.
