Everyone said Canon is so great. I hit one button on my HP and it scans a PDF file beautifully. So far Ive wasted an hour off my time and gotten nothing but frustration. Canon has a long way to go and I am so sorry I bought this piece of ______. Wish I could send it back but I’ve had it over a month and am stuck with it. What a waste of time and money.

I am having a hard time scanning from my MX922 CANON printer. I have followed all the directions, but still nothing works. Ready to through this printer in the garbage. Using it is an act of frustration. This printer is only a few months old. Very disappointed with it.

I just purchased this Pixma Mx922 and this was not easy. I am very technologically savvy and this process has been a headache, to say the least. First I did not realize there were 2 paper trays, now I can not get the printer to print or scan under the wireless LAN. If this keeps up, I will be sending this printer back for a refund.

My problem is the same as Beths above plus I want to scan to email and the OK but is not working it shows in the colour blue not white as usual
Vic Gammill says
Image Garden is just turned on by default to view the scans. You can turn it off, but it lets you QA your scans before you take away the source.
In email or an application where you want to insert the scans, browse to the folder where the files are.Thre is a default or you set your directory in preferences. I set mine for OneDrive.
If you are in Win 10, then you may have other issues. Canon released some Win10 drivers in November and December, but not remote scanning. Canon fixed all of the MX922 drivers in mid-January so everything works now, including wireless scanning.
Beth Bauer says
I have been using my Canon MX922 to scan documents and then send them as email attachments. All of a sudden my documents are ending up in the image garden and there is no way I can see to get it to an email. The only options are to print or delete.

We are trying to scan a document but the pages, which are fed right side up and all facing the same way are received via email randomly upside down, sideways, and right side up. We are using simplex. Please advise.
