MG6220 from offline to online

[Dayrel]

How do I get my MG6220 from offline to online. It is connected to a PC/Windows 10. It was fine a few days ago but now it shows offline & will not print. I'm sure it's a simple solution but I can't figure it out.

Hi Dayrel,

Are you using your PIXMA MG6220 with a USB cable or are you using your PIXMA MG6220 wirelessly?

[Dayrel]

Thanks for the reply. When it was printing, It was wireless. But I have tried to connect via USB, same results. It just went offline a couple weeks ago. Before that it was fine. When I try to print the 'Offline' message appears. I would think that Canon should make it much easier to get back on line....like a touch of a key. I hate to have to buy another printer but If I don't get this fixed soon, I'll have to. I've owned 3 previous Canon printers & really never had any problems that I couldn't fix. This seems that it should be an easy fix.

Hello.

Uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers should resolve this issue. Please perform the following:

1. From the Start menu, click Settings, Devices, Printers and Scanners.

2. Towards the bottom of the Printers and Scanners area, turn off Let Windows manage my default printer.

3. Right-click the Start button and choose the Control Panel.

4. Open Programs and Features.

5. Uninstall the MG6220/MP Drivers and the Canon IJ Network Tool.

6. Close all windows that are open.

Once this has been done, visit the following link to download and install the MG6200 series MP Driver.

Hello tedrin. 

The instructions were for Windows 10, which is what the original poster had.  Steps 1 and 2 don't apply to Windows 7.

Try uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers (Steps 3 and on).  If you experience any difficulties, please contact our support group using the "Contact Us" link below for additional assistance.

My MG6220 works fine with my laptop in the morning but at night I have the Offline issue discussed here. What's magical about the morning?
