Printer Not Detected

I have a PIXMA MG2522 printer that I've had for a few years. I recently got a new pc and it won't connect. I have it connected with a usb cable. I have tried all troubleshooting and driver downloads. With the driver download, it says "connect cable" and even if I unplug and re plug it in, it still cannot find it. It says, "caution, cannot find printer". I know that the printer works so why can't my computer find it? It can find another printer in the house that is wireless, but not one that is plugged straight into it.
