Hi pymcat,
Performing a series of cleanings and deep cleanings on the printer may get the ink to appear on the page. To perform the cleanings, please follow the steps located at the link below:

I can't see my Canon MG5220 printer... Initially I was getting "there is a communication error" so I rebooted everything, reset the printing system, reinstalled the driver and still NO luck! It seems to see the scanner, but never the printer. HELP!

I can't see my Canon MG5220 printer... Initially I was getting "there is a communication error" so I rebooted everything, reset the printing system, reinstalled the driver and still NO luck! I see no printers available in the Print & Scan area. If I click "+" it seems to see the scanner, but never the printer. HELP!

The printer component uses a different protocol to advertise itself on the network compared to the scanner component and it can take several seconds longer to appear after the scanner has.
That said, with the introduction of AirPrint, the MG should be seen as Bonjour Multifunction in the Add Printer window, as shown below.
Selecting this Bonjour Multifunction entry will create a printer using AirPrint and a scanner using the iCA driver.
So do you see the MG5220 as Bonjour Multifunction or just Bonjour?

Using eprint to print photos with email text on one page

I have been using Presto eprint services for several years for my Dad, and I really like how it works and allows me to print the email (from, to, text in the body of the email), plus any attachments, all on one page using full letter size paper However, my parents would like to get rid of their land-line phone, so I'm looking for options to replace the Presto printer. I was thinking that HP eprint might be a good option, but based on some initial tests with a friends printer, it seems to just print photos as full page images, without the email content. Is there anyway to confirgure the HP eprint function to print the email text and photos or PDF file attachment on one page? Thanks.

Hello @Joseph_TX ,
Welcome to the HP forums.
I understand that you want to know if a way to configure the HP ePrint.
I would like to help.
Unfortunately there is no way to reconfigure the ePrint.
When you send an email to the printers ePrint address, it will print the body of the email and any attachments.
It will not print the subject line or who the email is from.
Also the ePrint feature will not resize pictures sent.
What you send is what you get.
You can get more control over ePrint with the ePrint app, but I don't believe that will suit your needs.

Airprint - prints photos but not documents.

I have a HP Photosmart 5515, and have successfully printed photos from my iPad 2, but cannot print text documents. When I select print it finds the printer, then when I click OK it says "sending to printer", but nothing happens.

Take a look at the "Viewing the Print Queue" section on this web page:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356
you may have a stuck print job in the queue.

Printer prints images but no text

On newly installed iP4600 printer, it prints graphic images OK, but will not print text. This is true for MS Word, Excel, Gmail, etc. I used a printer driver downloaded from the Canon website.
Thanks

Hello Miked,
To troubleshoot the issue, we will first want to ensure that the inkjet nozzles are dispensing the ink correctly by printing a nozzle check pattern. Please follow the steps located at the following link to print a nozzle check pattern:

If the nozzle check pattern did not print correctly, please reply with what operating system is on your computer and we will provide print head cleaning instructions.

Hi,
Try printing a Supply Status report, can you see any of the colors printed correctly? (Black, Magenta, Cyan and Yellow) or there may some missing colors?

Prints background, but no text

A friend gave me a used HP Officejet 6310 All in One. I thought the printer software was installed properly (my sister-in-law did it) and I have a usb connection, but when I tested out the printer it only sorta printed the background of the original, but none of the text (from both the internet and Word). I was told to try re-installing the software, but since I am not a techie, I'm not getting anywhere. Can someone please help me? I seem to need my hand held to figure out this problem or even just to re-install the software. Thank you if you can help! Ski

AirPrint works but it prints photos too small

AirPrint can find my Epson Artisan 810 and it prints photos but somehow it prints them very small. 4 x 6 photo is printed in 1.5 x 2.5 dimensions. I do not know how I can fix this.

That's not an AirPrint capable printer so you'll want to check with the maker of your printer sharing software. If you enabled AirPrint printer sharing using one of the clever, backdoor methods floating around then you might want to check with Epson.
I have an HP C310 and the photos print at the proper size.
Probably the first thing to do is to make sure you have the latest Epson driver installed. Are you sharing your printer through a Mac or a Windows machine?

Canon MG5220 driver not available on Software update server

I'm receiving the following error everytime I attempt to add the Multifunction Canon MG5220 printer ... Connected via USB and WiFi both modes fail to install the printer driver.
"Can't install the software for the canon MG5220 series becasue it is not currently available from the software update server"
I've downloaded drivers from the Canon site, however the Mac continues to attempt to reach the update server to get the driver without success. So I've not been able to print.
Strangley enough, the scanner driver portion is seen, but not the printer.

Resolved after downloading and running the setup file for this multifunction printer from Canon site.

My Canon MP620 just stopped printing text: it can print photos etc but when I send a word document (with a picture) it only prints the picture. Any ideas?

Hi Everyone:
I have a Canon MP620 printer connected directly into my Airport base station. So far it has worked perfectly - I can print any type of document over the network from my MacBook Pro.
Yesterday something weird happened. I have a resumé (as a word document) I was always printing but this time all that was printed was a photo and no text. I did a print preview and it looked fine. I converted to PDF and nothing was printed. I then created a brand new word document and again nothing was printed. I have no problem with images but for some strange reason no text can be printed. All that happens is that the paper goes through and comes out blank.
Any ideas?????
Thanks a lot in advace!

Hi,
Tried all the cleaning programmes and it still will not print...I am lost.

Can No Longer Scan With Canon MG5220 But Printing Works Fine

Hello,
I have not had luck with Canon so hoping my Apple community can come through for me Here is my problem. I have a Canon MG5220 "all-in-one" that I am able to print to just fine. I was able to scan a year ago but something has changed and I am no longer able to scan. I have all the Canon software and the error I get is as follows when using MP Navigator 4.0 EX:
"Error 2.10 - Cannot communicate with scanner. Cable may be disconnected or scanner is turned off. Check status."
I have deleted and re-added my printer several times but that has not done anything. I believe there was a time in the past when it was scanning properly that I had a separate printer icon under "Printers" on left of "Print and Scan" sscreen for the scanner but not sure (can someone confirm?). Regardless, I only have one now.
My printer is connected as follows: MG5220 is wireless to my FiOS Actiontec router and then hardwired Ethernet to iMac. I have turned Wi-Fi status on and off o Mac and that has not made a difference.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
epie

Open Finder and navigate to Applications > Canon Utilities > IJ Network Scanner Selector EX and open the Canon IJ Network Scanner Selector EX utility. This utility will search your local network for the MG5220 and if found, should show something like below.
If the MG5220 is found, ensure that it is selected - as opposed to "Do Not Use" - and then press the OK button.
Now open MP Navigator and select the Preferences (as shown below)
From the Preferences window, with the General tab selected, ensure you have the MP5200 Series Network set as shown below (which is for my wireless MG6250).
If it is set, press the OK button to close the Preferences window and then see if you can scan.
