Im looking for a solution for my mx922. Its printing very light. Is there a way to adjust the color? No matter how dark the picture is the printout is very light. It is also very slow to start printing. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Canon pixma mx922 compatibility issues with Mavericks?

Thinking of getting canon pixma mx922. Any body had compatibility issues with Mavericks?

Go to http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3669 for a list of printers that are still supported.
If you don't see the printer, check Printer software no longer available through Software Update.

Cannot make Canon PIXMA MX922 fax to work with "Windows Fax And Scan" on Windows 7, 8.1

I have Canon PIXMA MX922 multifunction printer installed wireless on iMac OS X Mavericks. It works great but there is no fax drivers for Mac. I have Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 installed on Parallel Desktop. I am able to print and scan on these machines. I can scan using "Windows Fax and Scan" and other programs including My Image Gardens but no luck with faxing. I can send faxes using print function and chosing a Cannon MX920 series fax driver. The problem is to recieve faxes. I've connected MX922 wireless and wired with no help.
Does anyone have the same problem? Any ideas?

Hi Anton,
thank you for your advice.
In case this is going to fix itself in 25 hours I will check for the issue then. I'm gonna let you know whether the issues has disappeared.
But it sounds to me a little bit, like you have been expecting that behaviour? Have you? Especially within a Lab it is very confusing to have test clients which appear fully functional 25 hours after the setup has been succeeded.
I've followed your annotation and posted the log files on the Connect portal.
Thx
Peter

Pixma MX922 - BK appears to be out of alignment. PGBK, C, M, Y all (relatively) perfect.

Hey all, I've actually submitted this to Canon support, but I thought I'd bring up the issue since it's pretty strange and I would think that anyone familiar with it might see this post and go... "Oh hey, I know that!"
So... Pixma MX922... I appear to be having issues with BK (not PGBK). Text is distorted, or "fat" (wider than it should be and fuzzy) and if it's small text you can see what appears to be a duplicate offset, what I believe is the difference between the PGBK and BK... it appears the dye black is out of alignment independently from the colors and PGBK as evidenced from the print head check page.
The solid rectangular bars to the left and right of PGBK are crisp and solid, as is the grid to the right. The bars of black to the left and right of C, M, Y, and BK are distorted, getting fatter to the center of the bar. The actual color samples are all a solid crisp rectangle but the BK pattern is also distended on the sides.
Here's an example of the print check: i.imgur.com/Bt8SYer.jpg
Steps I've taken:
cleaned heads (incl. deep cleaning)
cleaned timing strip
aligned heads automatically and manually.
Ideas?
Thanks!

Hi jurassicfrog,
if performing the alignments, print head cleanings and cleaning of the timing encoder film of the printer did not resolve the error, the printer will require servicing; please call or email us using one of the methods on the Contact Us page for further assistance.

Excel spreadsheet prints incorrectly--lacks grids, some colors--Pixma MX922

I can't print an Excel Spreadsheet correctly to my Canon Pixma MX922. It comes out lacking borders and lacking some of the colors, even though in print preview it looks perfect. I am using Microsoft Excel 2013 and Windows 7. I just reinstalled the printer driver but this didn't help. I CAN print out photos correctly, but if they are part of a spreadsheet, they print lacking colors, too. Any advice?
Thanks,
Shari Shaw

Thanks for taking the time to reply, John, but that's not the problem. I have gridlines checked. I have done some further checking and I think it's a print-head issue. I'll try cleaning and deep-cleaning the nozzles...
Thanks again!
Shari Shaw

How do I remove the print head in a PIXMA MX922 printer so I can clean or replace it?

How do I remove the print head in a PIXMA MX922 printer so I can clean or replace it? The printer clean and deep clean features will not provide print quality corrections.

Hi Happy,
To remove the ink tanks and print head from the printer, please follow the steps located here. Please note that we do not recommend cleaning the print head using any other methods other than the ones built into the printer, as it may do damage to the printer. If performing at least one cleaning and two deep cleanings on the printer do not resolve the issue, the printer may require servicing; please call or email us at one of the methods on the Contact Us page to obtain your servicing options.

How do I print directly onto an inkjet printable CD using a Pixma MX922?

How do I print directly onto an inkjet printable CD using a Pixma MX922? Does Canon have a template for disc labels?

Hi KSeghorn,
There is a program that comes with the printer called the My Image Garden program that can assist you with printing onto inkjet printable CDs. To do this, please follow these steps:
1. Start My Image Garden.
2. Select the image you want to use for a disc label (CD/DVD/BD).
3. Click the NEW ART button and select the Disc Label (CD/DVD/BD) option. The Select Theme dialog appears.
4. Set the Theme, Paper Size and Orientation, then click the OK button. The disc label (CD/DVD/BD) appears in the Create or Open Items edit screen.
Note: The layout may not be as expected depending on the photo information or analysis results of the selected images.
5. Edit/adjust the items on the label using the buttons at the bottom of the window according to your preference, then press the PRINT button. The Print Settings dialog appears.
Note: In the Advanced Settings dialog displayed by clicking Advanced... at the bottom of the screen, you can set the print area. If Advanced... is not displayed, click the right scroll arrow button to display it.
6. Set the number of copies to print, the printer and paper to use, etc., then click the PRINT button to print.
For information on loading the printable CDs into the printer, please click here.

Pixma MX922 drops off network, what ports need to be opened

Pixma MX922 keeps dropping from my wireless network - no matter what I do to configure. Called Canon support and they were not able to resolve issue (offered to replace printer, prefer not to do this - only as last resort).
I attempted ALL the standard items to resolve (re-install printer, drivers, make static IP (NO DHCP leasing - and my DHCP lease time on router is set to max. time of 2 weeks anyway...), made sure of no firewall issues, etc., etc.) but printer keeps doing this. Can ping the ip, etc., so I know that it exists, but UNLESS I POWER the printer OFF / ON - anything I sent to it will just sit in print queue. Once I power it off / on - all printing is fine - only for a few hours or next day - until it happens again...
Somewhere on this forum another user stated that he resolved the problem by contacting Canon support and they told him specific Ports on his router that had to be opened in order to fix the issue of the printer dropping off wireless network (* he must have had a better tech than the ones I spoke with...).
Does anyone on this forum know the ports that must be open on the router? Possibly one or two higher number ip ports such as 1020, or 25466, etc. ?
Thank you to anyone who may know this and provide.

PIXMA mx922 prints blurry.

Our PIXMA mx922 prints blurry. I have already cleaned the encoding strip. When I print a black and white text document. some lines on a printed document are sharp and crisp, while others are faint and blurry. These crisp and blurry lines alternate all the way down the page. When I print a mixed color and black text document (such as a screen capture of this current page), the color sections are sharp but the black ink sections are blurry as mentioned previously. The blurry text almost looks like a double image of the letters. Thank you in advance for any suggestions.

Encoder strip would be the big culprint here.

LAN WAN settings on Pixma MX922

On my Pixma MX922 I can set either WAN active or LAN active, not both at the same time. I have one desktop - LAN, 1 laptop WAN only, 2 tablets WAN only. Two printers, one is a LaserJet TCP/IP only, the other is the Pixma MX922.
Any body know how I can print to either printer from the desktop - where I work a lot, and others can print from their laptop or tablet to either printer?
Router is Archer C7 801.11ac/n/b
Or if a different Canon Inkjet printer can activate WAN and LAN at the same time I would like to know. Thanks

Hi Pakeha,
You can install the printer on your laptop and connect your tablets wirelessly using the wireless setup method, then install the printer on your desktop computer, also choosing the wireless connection method during setup, even if the desktop computer is connected to your router via an ethernet cable. Should you need assistance installing the printer wirelessly, please call or email us using one of the methods on the Contact Us page for further assistance.

Pixma MX922 pulling in multiple pages when printing

MX922 - couple weeks old. Has been functioning fine in excellent photo printing.
But, when page printing on premium grade paper ( 20 or 24lb) the printer has the very annoying tendency to grab up 2 or more pages at the same time.
Paper is fanned ( fluffed up) before inserting into the tray and squared up
Paper tray is properly adjusted.
Tray is properly inserted.
Will print fine and then will drag in 2 or more pages in. Print a couple fine and then 3 pages get drawn in. I pull out the tray and check the paper and I see no issues. Have removed the paper and fan it and hope for the best.
This is really annoying when doing duplex printing let alone on single sided.
I have now tried this with 3 different brands of name brand paper.
Scanned this forum and haven't seen any similar reports.
Just ocurred again when trying to print 17 pages 2 paged and 3 pieces were drawn in.
Suggestions? Ideas?
A great printer otherwise.

Hi chips,
Is your paper measured in g/m2? If so, we recommend the paper be between 64 to 105 g/m2. This measurement is much more reliable for determining your paper compatibility (especially with thicker paper). Additionally, it may help to perform a roller cleaning on your printer. For more information on this process, please review the following article from our Knowledge Base: Cleaning the Paper Feed Roller - MX922.
If this didn't work, or if you have any other questions, please feel free to Contact Us!

Canon Pixma MX922 black ink prints with streaks

My new MX922 is now printing with streaks. Just the black ink. The ink cartridge was replaced to be sure there was plenty of ink, but before it was even replaced the print came out streaked. In other words, parts of letters print and other parts do not; parts of sentences print and other parts do not. What do I need to do?

Hello kategreat.
Please check to make sure that the bright orange tape was removed from the top of each tank. If the tape is left on the tanks, ink may not flow properly.
If the issue persists, we would have to advise that you contact our technical support group. Please visit the following link below to contact our support group for additional assistance.
