Canon PIXMA MX922 Troubleshooting

MX922 Cannot Be Found on WiFi

First make sure the printer is turned on and that wireless LAN has not been disabled in its LAN settings.

Check the WLAN setting list and confirm that the connection is active. Also verify that the printer and computer are using the intended network.

Printer and Computer Are on Different Networks

Compare the printer's SSID with the network used by the computer. If they do not match, reconnect the printer to the intended network.

Weak Wireless Connection

Temporarily move the printer closer to the access point while troubleshooting. Physical obstacles and radio interference can affect wireless communication.

MX922 Is Connected but Will Not Print

Check the printer status, print queue, selected printer, computer network connection, and installed driver. Confirm that the printer itself is not displaying an error code.

Confirm that network communication is working and that the appropriate scanner software is installed. Make sure the correct MX922 scanner is selected in the scanning application.

MX922 Shows B200

B200 is also an error-specific condition rather than a normal wireless setup issue.
