The printer could not be detected on the network message during Canon PIXMA MX922 installation

Could not complete driver installation during brand new set-up because of this message. Went through wirless connection set-up several times and connectivity was always present. Logged into my D-Link 626L router and could see the printer connected but the ip address referenced was 0.0.0.0. Tried to assign a static ip address through set-up on the printer and also use the cmd prompt in windows, all to no avail.

 

Called Canon Support and these 2 setting changes solved the problem:

 

1) Disable the Wirelss LAN DRX setting

2) Disable the IPv6 Setting

 

This article explains how to adjust the settings on the printer. 

 
The name of the article is: Check the IPv6 and Wireless LAN DRX settings
I hope this helps someone else as I spent many hours trying to get this working. Now all is well after changing the above. Thank you Canon Support!

Have tried all of the following help within this post and still will not detect printer.

We did have everything working with USB to laptop and had lost the ability to use wirelessly.

Reinstalled drivers and now have got no connection.

You just saved my life after hours of reinstalling the software!!!!!!!

 

 

THANK YOU!

Thanks! Interestingly we just had to replace our pixma because of a bad print head and when I just installed the drivers, had the exact same error! This solution fixed it again so I could complete the set-up!

Thanks so much.  The cable company gave me a new (better?) router after which I could not print wirelessly any more.  Your answer solved the problem.... after I had tried in vain for several hours on my own. Much appreciated !!!

I have a similar issue.

I have a canon MG 5220

I connected the printer to the wireless network / access point just fine.

I got a new dell desktop and went to canon's website, downloaded the canon driver for the printer. It worked fine and i printed a documented test page wirelessly

 

The next day, i get an error message saying canon updates can not be performed because printer was not detected on network. 

 

I deleted the driver, restarted both my printer and computer, connected my printer to the wireless network and it connected fine to the access point. Downloaded the pritner driver to my desktop and now its saying printer can not be detected. I  keep re starting everything and nothign is working. I am not able to connect to my desktop to printer wirelessly at all. 

 

but my MAC and a PC laptop is able print  wirelessly to this canon printer

 

Please HELP.
