i just got one of these printers from Walmart for 20 bucks works great for my needs i use it for my business printing shipping labels thanks for the setup video
Was going to purchase for high school student with only iPhone and laptop access. Does this work wirelessly? Because the laptop does not have CD drive? Or can installation be downloaded from the web?
Ingrid Mari the mg2522 printer is not wireless. It comes with a cable to connect it to an outlet and it should come with like a usb to connect it to a laptop. I only know cuz I got one and I’m trying to figure out the IP address
I didn't have any issues setting this up. I was hoping you would show how to scan with this printer, which is why I came here. I don't even remember using a disc or know where mine is, if I have to download something for the scanner. Downside to this printer is the ink cartridges don't last long at all. It seems you only get to print out about 40 or 50 pages, before the ink runs out. Other than that, it works great for my needs.
Wow! Thank you! I completely had a brain fart and forgot to plug in my USB. I kept wondering why it wasn't recognizing anything until I saw your video. Thank you for the Step by Step. My bought this Canon because my Epson just up and died after two years and I was in need and short on cash. Thanks again!
I just got this very same printer today and when I opened MY box up it didn't come with any instructions like I noticed yours did the minute you opened up your box and mine didn't come with any ink cartridges either. I purchased my own black in cartridge and tried to put it in myself and the minute I turned the printer on, it continues to flash near the black ink indicator as if it has NO ink in it at all? Nor will it download the drivers. One minute it says it's detecting my pc then the next minute it's saying it doesn't?
Thank you so much! I didn't really wanna waste my time Reading the instructions so I watched this video and I had it working the first 2 Hours after Buying it! It was easy to get it to connect to my HP Stream Windows laptop! Thanks! ❤
Yeah, my friend bought one today and it came with the cable. You guys are lucky. I had to buy the wire the next day because I didnt know I needed that cable.
I just bought mine Sunday and the box says the USB cable is included. I will see once I fully open it. It says all-in-one printer, so I guess it’s a copier and scanner too? I’m going to follow your video to set it up. I hope I do it right. You make it look simple.
Quick question so it says there should be a way to set up wireless WiFi connection and I have to push something on the printer but I can’t figure it out. Did you come across this at all or is it just not wireless compatible?
Unfortunately this is not a wireless printer. However if your wireless router has a USB port it might be able to share this printer throughout the house wirelessly. That'll be depend on the router if it has this option or not. Thanks.
Yeah, still pretty pissed it didn't come with a USB cord. I don't understand why it wouldn't, or why it would be printed in such tiny font on one part of the box. Not only that but it's the type B cord which I don't exactly have a bunch of lying around the house. Not cool.
Yeah that's unfortunate! They just want to save money and reduce their cost as much as they can! The cheapest USB cable I found was on eBay for a couple of bucks in case you haven't purchased one by now. Thanks
CouponingWithmom of2boys this printer has not wifi capability but anyway you can setup or share it to be used thru wifi if your router has a sharing usb enable. So you can connect the printer directly on your router and share it with any device connected in your network wirelessly
both cartridge needs to be in place, inserted properly or it can also work with only one cartridge[the black one]? or both cartridge have to be full with the necessary amount of ink or just one of them. please! anybody.......
Hi, Thanks for watching. According to the canon website this could be due to different reasons, such as Print head error, scanner error or etc. Check out this website: support.usa.canon.com/kb/index?page=content&id=ART143179#Alternatively Hope that helps.
Buenos tardes lo que pasa que impresora asé mucho ruido el rodillo y no pasa la hoja y no puede. Sacar copias que puedo ASER por favor a es normal que prenda un foco que dise BC
Hi, thanks! This is not a network printer so it doesn't need an IP address to work. Basically you just connect it with a USB cable to your computer and install the software on the computer and it should be good to go!
I just got an HP 2600 copier from Walmart with a scanner because they said I could use my phone to connect to The copier. I have a Straight Talk phone and I can use that phone to connect my computer and check my email but I cannot get it to connect to The copier and print off copies that I have on my email that I need to copy can you give me any advice? Verizon Straight Talk phone is not a phone that is connected to a Wi-Fi is that why I'm having a problem? I have a Galaxy j7 Android phone Straight Talk phone.
I just bought this printer and the Yellow light under the power button keeps blinking what does that mean? Ive checked the ink cartridges and it still blinks
You can do that if your wireless router has a USB port and allows you to share the printer in your network, or you can also connect the printer directly via USB to a computer and then share the printer on that computer which is in your wireless network.
Unfortunately this printer doesn't have any wireless capabilities at all, so the only way to send print jobs to the printer from your phone would be by adding either a wireless router or a wireless print server. You might also be able to connect the printer directly to your phone via a USB cable, but that'll require a third party app so it can detect the printer, and that's something I have never tried and I'm not sure if that would be successful. I think in your case you might need a printer that has built-in wireless capability, if you don't want to add any other devices to the network. Hope that was helpful. Thanks.
Behfor I'm getting a message saying "Unable to initialize scanner. Check scanner connection and scan software" Everything else worked. I have No Idea what "image garden" is or MP Driver! Can you please tell me What step am I missing to scan? Thank you!
When and where do you get that error message? Also did you install the full driver software that came with the printer? I'm guessing maybe the driver software for the scanner is not installed! The link to the software is in the video description in case you don't have the CD!
can you hook it into a phone via wifi or anything? i dont have a usb just yet and i know someone told me i could do it with my phone and print stuff off of my phone
The best way to print from you phone would be to have a Google Cloud ready printer ( for android phones) or Apple AirPrint ready (for IPhones), unfortunately this printer is neither of those. The workaround would be to connect the printer via a USB cable to a computer and then install either Google cloud print or Apple AirPrint (through some third party apps) on that computer, then you should be able to print from your phone. This video shows how to set it up for google cloud print: ua-cam.com/video/53Qkw-9OHIQ/v-deo.html Hope that helps
Once everything is installed and working, did you leave the CD in your laptop/computer?, or did you remove it and use it to install to another device? Basically, will the printer disconnect from the laptop if the CD is removed?
is there a way to scan to the computer??? ive looked everywhere online and it just keeps sending me to different versions. image garden has the scan button greyed out and unuseable
If the printer/scanner is installed correctly and is powered on, you should be able to see the scan option in the image garden. I just checked mine and it was there, and that's how I can scan to my computer. Thanks.
Simplymeeka i did but i had to do it a different way, the scan button is still greyed out tho. id have to get back on to tell u, i just stumbled upon it lol
I got mine to start working. I intalled the MP driver and it started working. I was getting a weird message about the printer not being on or something when it clearly was. all good now, thanks (:
A neighbour just dumped one of these units on me without a disc. I downloaded the app and started scanning immediately. Colours are good which is important to me as I'm scanning 45rpm labels. The one negative is this machine scans the entire window where some scanners will figure out the size of your item and cut it down to that size. I have to edit every image anyway, so it's not a big deal.
You are very lucky then! Because according to Canon their printers do not come with USB cables! community.usa.canon.com/t5/Personal-Printers/my-Printer-did-not-come-with-all-the-cables-required-to-connect/td-p/149643
got my but a lot of paper work missing,l am trying to figure were to plug all the cords too got wall one but do l plug into lab top or the internet box nothing working so far(this is his mom,l trying to set it up as a surprise)
I just bought one today $19.00+ tax from Walmart. Mine came with the USB cable included. I don't have access to Internet and this printer specifically MG2522 doesn't come with Bluetooth.
I had no idea how to set up a printer, this video was extremely helpful, straight to the point and no time wasted, 👍🏼
My God I'm so happy that you just get to the point and you don't talk through the whole video you've been great help
Glad to hear that, thanks 😀

That's good! Thanks for letting us know 👍
Can you please tell me the IP address ? Or how can I connect it to my chroombook , it doesn’t have the cd , I’m lost

You're very welcome and good luck with your new printer :-)
U still have it what country are you from ?
What did you connect the USB cord to? I'm confused
@@knewbold09 Plugs into hard drive USB Port or Laptop USB Port. That's how the signal is sent to printer.

Tonya Hadley $19 at Walmart , just bought one today
Thank you,I followed you and it worked great and mine did come with usb cable.
Awesome! I'm glad this video was useful and It's actually great that yours came with the USB cable! :-) Mine didn't!

You're very welcome! Thanks for your comment, I'm glad you found this video useful and you could set up your printer quickly :-)
Wow.. Mine actually came with 2 cables, the usb and the other where you connect it. I bought it in 2019 tho so idk
lucky you! Maybe they added the cable after a lot of people complained about it! Thanks for letting us know and hope you like your new printer :-)
Yeah, my friend bought one today and it came with the cable. You guys are lucky. I had to buy the wire the next day because I didnt know I needed that cable.
Mine also came with cable.

Yea mine came with it lol
What can of ink should I get? The box has different sizes. Does the size of ink make the ink last longer?
Got this printer as a early gift. After I install the drivers/software, and I unplug the usb cable?
What usb cable should I buy? I just bought this printer, and I don't know which cable I need
It's a Standard A Male to B Male Printer USB Cable. You should be able to find it on eBay for a couple of bucks!
thanx fourni this unused at recycle and no idea how to set it up can u believe 7 years ago?j except you didnt show how to print a test page?
You're welcome! I can't believe it's been 7 years either. Good luck!
Omg his video is so helpful thank u so much!!!!!
You bet :-)
Quick question so it says there should be a way to set up wireless WiFi connection and I have to push something on the printer but I can’t figure it out. Did you come across this at all or is it just not wireless compatible?
Unfortunately this is not a wireless printer. However if your wireless router has a USB port it might be able to share this printer throughout the house wirelessly. That'll be depend on the router if it has this option or not. Thanks.

Thx for showing that. Helped a lot! Cheers

I did all exactly but it keeps saying that printer is not connected with my computer ... but it is what is the problem?
Mines too
Yeah, still pretty pissed it didn't come with a USB cord. I don't understand why it wouldn't, or why it would be printed in such tiny font on one part of the box.

Not cool.

Hi Thank you for the tutorial. it is very helpful. Do you know why the green and orange lights keep flashing? Mine just keep flashing =(
with or without ink installed, both lights keep flashing alternatively... Don't know why...

Like this you printed from the pc right?
Yes
How do you guys find a reasonable compatible ink cartridge or refilled with ink? Appreciate your info.
is it compatible with avery label paper? i have a business and i’m not sure if it’s good for shipping labels
Does this cable come with the product, or do we have to buy exclusively?
It only comes with power cable. You should buy the USB cable separately.
Thank you so much! It’s helped:)
You're welcome!
How about showing the screen on your laptop on the steps to print from your files?
Don't want a USB printer,but thank you for this video

If only it would be that easy.
Can you scan without printing it out? Can it save a file to your computer?
Yes you can scan and save the file in you computer, thanks!
Canon Pixma MG2522 does anything
I just bought this printer and the Yellow light under the power button keeps blinking what does that mean? Ive checked the ink cartridges and it still blinks
Does the unit have to be connected to computer
to make simple copies?
When will canon repl provide responses to the consumer"s questions? Call 706-825-1816..Earl

Much better than trying to follow the "manual"! Thank youl
I'm glad this video was useful for you :-)
can i still make copies without plugging the usb in i just want to make copies i got the wrong printer that why im asking.
You can, the USB connection is only for connecting the printer to the computer, you don't need a computer if you only want to make copies. Thanks!
Thanks for the video helpful :)
You're very welcome! I'm glad you found it to be helpful 🙂
Which software do you install? Do I have to have the color cartridge to?
do you know how to setup my printer wirelessly? Thanks for the video.
You can do that if your wireless router has a USB port and allows you to share the printer in your network, or you can also connect the printer directly via USB to a computer and then share the printer on that computer which is in your wireless network.
behfor I no longer have a router. I use my phone for everything & it is economical for me to have just my phone.

Can I connect my iPhone to print? Thanks
