Code 5,157,69 - MG5520

[LauraKosmos]

I have a PIXMA MG5520 printer.  The printer works, the copier works, but when I try to scan, I get a Code 5,157,69.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled the software, but nothing seems to work.  So my guess is that there is a setting which somehow got changed.  Please help.

Had same problem on win7 pro64.  I think it only appeared after I activated the network capability. Tried to go back to USB but problem remained.  Tried reinstalling everything, firmware updater, driver update....no joy.  UNINSTALLED IJ NETWORK SCANNER SELECTOR EX (via windows control panel) and problem seems to be fixed.  Don't know if Network capability works and don't care.

I am on Windows 10 and getting the same error through Wireless and when I connect directly through USB I get the same error. This was working, I did not change anything and now I can't scan at all. I tried Paint and that did not work. I have a ton of pictures to scan and am really unhappy that this is no longer working.

I had the same problem and find out the printer was just offline:

Uncheck your "use offline" settings in printer's config. You can also right click your printer, in Control Panel, access Scanning Properties as Admin, and click "Test Sanning". Windows will activate the printer .

Hope it helped!

Same issue with my MG3550.

Window 7 x64 won't recognize the scanner wirelessly.

I try many times to scan wirelessly with “Windows Fax and Scan” &  "Windows Pain" unsuccessfully. Always prompt me the message "No scanners were detected"

I was getting the same error and tried un-install / re-install, which didn't work.  Then I turned of my work VPN to see if that was the issue and it was.  As soon as I disconnected the VPN it worked again, so the first couple of times I used the scanner I must not have been on my company's VPN.  Hope that helps!

I have a PIXMA MG3620 multi-function printer. I moved recently. Before I moved the printer could copy, print and scan. Now after moving it will copy only. I get code:5,157,69. I am using Windows 10 operating system. Any help would be appreciated.
