MG5220

I have a Canon PIXMA MG5220 printer, and it will not print correctly after installing ALL new cartridges. I have tried cleaning the printheads, regular cleaning and deep cleaning them, and it still wont print correctly.
Thanks,
Sarah

I have this same problem. Regular text will not print, but pictures and colored text print fine. After cleaning, deep cleaning, and manual cleaning with water and alcohol, the nozzle check pattern still prints all but the PGBK pattern.
Most advice I have received says to replace the print head, which seems to be more expensive than a new printer. Also, other searches say that this doesn't always remedy the problem and there might be trouble with the pump or purge unit.
Each time I clean/deep clean the printer seems to be using ink (so much so that I have had to replace all the cartridges). Does this still suggest a clog?
Operating System: Windows Vista (but also have the same problem on computers printing from Windows 7 and Windows 8)

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.

I am attempting to connect my Canon Pixma MG5220 printer/copier/scanner to my MacBook Pro OS 10.6.8. After loading software from Canon and attempting to print, I get the following message: NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED. What can I do to fix this?

I just purchased and installed a Canon Pixma MG5220 printer/copier/scanner to my PC desktop with Windows XP. It works fine. It has been successfully installed on my network and I am able to use it with my laptop running VISTA. However, I am trying to connect it to my MacBook Pro OS 10.6.8 and I am not having much luck. I can see it as one of the printer choices when attempting to print; however, I get the following message:
NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED
I have been searching for answers, but nothing seems to work yet. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks.

Let me understand:
- you have purchased named canon, which is conencted to your PC running windows xp
- downloaded driver for win xp, and canon works fine
- canon is connected to that PC via USB
- that Canon is also activated as network printer, by allowing print sharing in windows; how did you set that option?
- now, you are in Mac OS x 10.6.8, downloaded Canon driver for Mac OS X, installed it, detected printer on the network, printer was installed; was it detected as attached to that PC running win XP? or not?
or you set canon by being connected to your mac directly via USB?
Now, there are some questions you should answer as some details are missing, and your initial text is not clear. Can you print if Canon is connected directly to your mac? did you try that? if not, do it before answering.

I'm having trouble instaling a printer driver for my Canon MG5220. I downloaded the latest printer driver from the Canon website (10.67.1.0) and installed it on my Intel iMac. It said the installation was sucessful, but when I try to add a printer, no go.

Pixma MG5220 Windows 7 can't find wi-fi connection

I have used a Pixma MG5220 printer with my Windows 7 machine for a long time. Recently, however, I needed to re-format and re-initialize the PC. I have the MG5220 as a wi-fi printer on the home network. I see it as a network device in Windows Explorer. I'm trying to re-connect the printer for use with the reformatted PC. However, when I try to run the set-up CD or Add a Printer under Control Panel->Devices and Printers, it says that the device is not responding. I suspect that something that used to be on the PC isn't there anymore since it got re-formatted. Any suggestions of things I could try? Thanks! Urban

have you tried downloading/installing the MP Drivers from the website?

what is on the printer screen? Is it in an error state?

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?

How do I print to and scan from Canon MG5220

I own a Mac mid-2011, an iPad2 and just ordered 2 iPhone4's. I have a Canon Pixma MG5220.
I want to print from all devices and scan to the Mac an possibly the iPad2.
Will the Airport Express or Airport Extreme allow both printing and scanning?

If the printer is a multi function device and you plan on connecting it to the either the AE or AEX via USB then no it will not scan to the iMac. However if the printer is a true wi-fi device then sure you can scan if it's connected either via Ethernet or Wi-Fi to the iMac. As far as scanning directly to the iPad no I don't believe it has the ability. However there is an easy work around, Dropbox. Create a Dropbox account and have both the iMac and iPad connect to it. Then when you scan scan to where the iMac has the Dropbox account and it will simultaneously scan to the iPad too. As far as printing from the iPad and iPhone 4's you should search for an app. As far as I know there isn't one but I'm not very knowledgeable about IOS either. If you had purchased one of HP printers that supports IOS then printing from IOS would be pretty easy.

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.

MG5220 won't feed from bottom tray

My MG5220 is giving me an out of paper message when trying to print, even though there is plenty of paper in the tray. I can hear some clicking like the machine is trying to feed, but the rollers aren't turning. Feeds from the rear fine. Any way to change out the feed gears for the bottom tray without disassembling the entire unit?

Hi GunnerV and kaylakelley,
Performing a roller cleaning on the printer may resolve the paper feed issue. To do this, please follow the steps located at the link below:
PIXMA MG5220 Roller Cleaning
If the printer still does not feed paper from the cassette tray, please reply with what paper type you have selected on your computer, as well as any error message you are receiving and we will be happy to look into it further.

How to connect downloaded twain (32 bit) so Win 7 (64bit) can import from Canon MG5220 scanner

New Photoshop CS6 on Win 7 (64 bit) will not import from scanner (Canon MG5220 with all drivers and software up-to-date by Canon). The Twain option for this CS6 was downloaded and the 32 bit plug-in option selected based on info from web. Photoshop gives message about graphics hardware not officially supported (I have IntelR G45/G43 Express chipset). Unckecking in the Use Graphics Processor checkbox in the Performance panel of the Preferences dialog does not help, and the same message comes up every time.

I just purchased a Canon MG5220. I have installed all of the updated drivers for 10.7.3. The scanner is working wirelessly, but I can't add my printer. Any ideas?

With most multi-function devices, you need to run the printer manufacturer's setup/configuring program first. That will either "Add" the printer directly, or make it discoverable in the "Add-a-Printer" window. Look around, you probably downloaded that program when you downloaded the Driver.

Irregular sized pics on Pixma MG5220?

Is it possible to print irregularly sized pictures on the Pixma MG5220, i.e. sizes that are not manufacturer preset, like 4"x4", 8 1/2"x 11", etc? Thus far the only work around I have found is to copy and paste the image into PowerPoint, adjust the size of the slide to the desired size, crop and resize the image to fit, then print onto a larger paper size and trim off excess for smaller prints. (No, I don't have photoshop. :-P ) This is okay, but very picky and time consuming, and generally requires a few failed prints before working out. Plus, of course, 8 1/2 x 11 is a no-go. Is there a direct work around from the usual photo viewing/Windows Gallery side? Thanks!

Hi dairon920,
You can set a custom paper size in the driver directly. You won't be able to print a borderless picture with this method, so you might still need to do some trimming but it should still hopefully bring your porcess down a few steps. To set a custom paper size, go into the Print menu in Powerpoint and next to the printer's name you should have a button that will either say Printer Properties, Printer Setup, or Printer Preferences depending on which version of Powerpoint you have. Once you are in the printer driver settings, go to Page Setup and in the drop down menu for Paper Size you should see Custom Paper Size. When you click that it'll let you type in the dimensions of the paper you are using.
