if your Canon scanner printer is not working

  • My Canon printer would not scan and send the file to my computer.
    I verified I had the latest printer driver and my cables were connected.
    None of the buttons I pushed on my printer would allow me to send a file to my computer.
    After almost giving up I went and connected to my printer through my computer
    and activated enabling me to scan and save the file to my computer.
    While this did not fix the problem it was a simple temporary solution
    that only took me a moment to do. If you have checked your cables are
    secure and working and you have the latest driver you may want to
    try this method if you're printer is not scanning and sending a file to your computer.

This is my link to my Amazon store where you can see stuff I have bought and liked a lot over the years. You do not have to buy anything from the store, just by using my link to enter Amazon anything you buy on Amazon will help me out at no cost to you. Didn't you want to buy an island or jet aircraft on Amazon today?

      @@RobbsHomemadeLife it’s still not 100% working but, at least I know the area to look in. From the first download of the software, it automatically gave me a (copy 1). Have tried several delete and reinstalls but gives me the same result. If I try to print more than 40-50 pages at a time, it takes HOURS. The stitching part of the program still isn’t working. It’s a Canon Pixma TR 4722. Cheap $59.00. Never had much luck with canon. Thanks.

    I love my Canon multifunction laser printer/scanner/fax/toaster/vacuum cleaner/whatever, but I too have issues scanning over wifi. Totally different and older machine (2013-ish), but similar issues. And since it's on the other side of the house, when I try to scan to PDF, I'm constantly running back and forth between the computer and printer, trying to avoid it timing out. Could never get it to initiate from the device. The end results are just fine, but getting it done is a huge PITA. I'll cut it some slack though as it has something like 38,000 pages on it, prints just fine on $7.50 generic toner cartridges, and misfeeds maybe once or twice over the course of a case of paper. One of those rare devices where I wish I had bought two of them and put one away on the shelf as a backup.

      John, if it has you running back and forth across the house maybe it has a physical therapy application you weren't aware of when you purchased it.😃 it sounds like a great printer. I know what you mean about wishing you had purchased more of an item. The prices have gone up on them tremendously.

    My Canon D570 had stopped scanning, I kept seeing "processing data" even though the document didn't get scanned. My photocopy & document printout worked fine. I had a low toner warning but I ignored it because my printouts looked ok. I had un-installed & re-installed my printer drivers 3 times, searched TH-cam on how to make a reset back to factory settings (found a couple of options) but my scanner feature still wouldn't work. Well, I finally ended up changing out my toner cartridge, it had reached the point where I had to, and a total surprise - my scanner started to work normally again! I have no idea why my cartridge being low on toner would affect the scanning feature, it doesn't make any sense at all to me since toner is not used while scanning.

      Gina, when I go into my settings to access printers. I am given an option to click on to the printer connected to my computer. After clicking I can access other options. I am using a PC and not a Mac. There might be other places on your computer to access your printer and find the menu selection you need. Sorry I can't be of much help.

    If all else fails, just like cruising the Home Depot lot for day labor, you can now cruise the public libraries for out of work scribes (if you don’t mind cursive.) You may want to go more natural with Assyrian or Sumerian scholars , stylus and clay tablets . Once your clay “pamphlets” are fired, you could broadcast them with a catapult.

      Warning! Never ever ever store your papyrus files and Clay folders in the Claude. They always tell you the Claude is the best place to store your papyrus files and Clay folders but whenever you try to get them back Claude has no idea where they are at. Maybe Alexandria Claude says. Maybe Thebes or Mogadishu. Claude has no idea.
