PIXMA MX922 stopped printing

Have been using it for a couple of weeks. Today printer is on, it is the default printer in Windows 7. Sent documents to print; they appear in the printing queue, then it gives "error printing" message. Went to Canon utility, sent test page, same result. No error codes showing in printer display. Printer status is "Ready" when I check it in Devices and Printer. Turned everything on and off, same results.
In summary, printer is connected, no error messages, but no print output.
Please help!

Pixma MG5420 stops printing midway through picture

Printing out a handful of 4"X6" borderless postcards. It will print several at a time, or maybe not even finish one, and just stop. No message on the display. The only thing I see in the console on the Mac is "Canon_MG5400_series: File "/Library/Caches/com.apple.ipp2ppd.Canon MG5400 series.icns" not available: No such file or directory", which I think is an ignorable error.
What causes a printer to just stop printing mid-page and think it's done? Ink levels look good, paper feed looks good...
Thanks!

Printer PIXMA MX890 stopped printing

All of a sudden my printer stopped printer and error message cassette and no paper when the cassette is clear and has paper.

Hello.
Please check the message on the LCD display to see what paper source is specified. It may be possible that the unit is attempting to feed from a different tray depending on what size and type of paper is selected.
If you continue to have difficulties, additional troubleshooting will have to be done to narrow down the cause of these issues. Please contact our support group using the link below for additional assistance.

PIXMA MX922-Envelope Printing

I am trying to print a commercial size 10 envelope from Word 2013 document. The envelope contains a table created in Word that extends the full height and width of the envelope with .5 margins on all sides. This printed fine on my HP LaserJet 5 but when I try to print it on the Pixma, the right margin switches from .5 to 1.48" when I go to print and as a result truncates the table. I saw in the fine print that the Pixma 922 does not support borderless envelope printing so I'm thinking maybe there is a built in larger border for envelopes. Has anyone figured out a work around? I attempted to avoid using the "envelope" settings by creating a custom document both in Word and for the printer that is the same size as the envelope. But the same thing happens - the table is truncated. I also attempted to just type text, thinking maybe there was something finicky about the table. But even the text is truncated and the margin overrides whatever I put in to change to 1.48" Very frustrating!

Hi sbsproperty,
You can print a nozzle check pattern from the printer to see if all of the inkjet nozzles are dispensing the ink correctly. To do this, please follow the steps located here. Once the pattern is printed, please examine it and compare it to the correctly printed nozzle check pattern here. If the nozzle check pattern did not print correctly, performing at least one cleaning and two deep cleanings may resolve the issue. To do this, please follow the steps located here.
Should you still experience the issue after performing the cleanings, the printer may require servicing. Please call or email us using one of the methods on the Contact Us page for further assistance.

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

My Canon MX922 printer has stopped printing because it says the paper tray is empty. Tray is full.

My Canon MX922 printer has all of a sudden stopped printing and I'm getting the error message that the paper tray is empty. The tray is full. I've removed and replaced several times. I've loaded the top feeder as well in case for some reason it was trying to pull from there. I've shut down and restarted several times as well, to no avail. I work from home and this is my own business so it's vital I have a working printer. Any suggestions as to what the problem is or is the printer shot? I've probably had it just over a year.

Hi nicolej31,
You will want to ensure that there aren't any obstructions in the paper feed path that may be causing the paper not to feed and be recognized by the printer. With a flashlight or other bright light, please check the paper feed areas of the printer to ensure no obstructions exist. Once this has been done, please perform a roller cleaning on the unit by following the steps located here.
You will also want to ensure that the paper type and size selected in the printer driver is applicable to the cassette tray that you are trying to print from. For information on which paper sizes and types to load in each cassette tray, please click here.
Hope this helps!

Pixma Pro-10 stops printing in middle of an image.

Pixma Pro-10 stops printing in middle of an image. It is wireless, using OS Windows 7 - 64 bit. It doesn't do it all the time but the larger images (13x19) have more problems. I am using LightRoom 5 and Canon Print Studio Pro to print the image. Very frustraing especially when it gets to 1 inch of finishing an image and decides it done. Thank you for your assistance.

If it doesn't do it all the time is it possibly losing wireless signal? How close/far is printer from the wireless router?

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.

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!

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.
Hope this helps!

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.

Canon ip4000r stopped printing over usb after update to 10.5.7

hi there!
i have a canon pixma ip4000r which is connected to my macbook pro via usb.
since the update to 10.5.7 it stopped printing. printer's joblist receives a printjob, displays "printing" but nothing happens. i tried to reinstall the printer but systems preferences are running very slowly/freezing when i plugin the usb cable. when i unplug it everything runs normal.
in addition canons printer tool crashes while trying to connect to the printer.
i have some networkprinters (hp laserjet 4100n) installed as well but they are running fine.
any suggestions?
thanks,
paul

Hello Paul,
I installed the 7 update yesterday on my test Mini using the Combo installer and saw some interesting results.
First of all, any USB printer queue was removed from the Printers list. Only the Adobe PDF and network printer queues remained.
Also, a number of Canon BJPrinter files were updated and added, some of them later versions of existing files, such as the Canon IJ Printer Utility. The strange behavior here was that older versions of the same file were left in the same folder and this is what I believe could be causing you problems.
So, I would suggest you try the following.
Unplug the iP4000 USB cable
Navigate to Mac HD/Library/Printers/Canon/BJPrinter and trash the entire contents of this folder.
Navigate to Mac HD/Library/Receipts and trash any Canon IP4000 files.
Empty the Trash and restart the Mac.
Run the iP4000R v4.8.3 driver installer again. This will add the files you need for your printer back into the BJPrinter folder.
Plug the iP4000 USB back into the Mac and see if the printer automatically adds to your printer list. It can take about a minute but if it doesn't then try to add it. Don't be surprised when you do try to add it you get a message stating the printer is already installed.
