I am trying to connect a Canon MG5200 wirelessly using a Cisco Valet Plus router and although both seem to be on the network, everytime I execute a print a message comes back saying unable to find printer. It has also, when trying to determine cause of message error, comb back saying that there is document in queue which is preventing printing.
Optional Information: Make: Canon Model: MG5200 Already Tried: Contacted Cisco for assistance and they were able to verify that the printer and network are connected but indicate something wrong in either printer driver or computer settings.

It is Windows 7, 64-bit. I have used the system before utilizing a net gear router with no problems.

I have taken the steps you outline above on the printer. It has located the access point and have entered the password XXXXX indicated it is connected. It is when I go to print that the message comes back of not able to find the printer or an error message indicating that the printer has a queue that is preventing it from taking print command. Once I delete any unprinted documents, I go back in and it seems to set the printer in offline mode again sending me back through the same error trail.
OK.

I did all the above and went to print and message came back indicating printer was offline. I went in and changed setting, not sure how it went to that setting in the first place, and attempted to print and message came back saying unable to locate printer.
I also noticed that there were two printers listed when I went in to add printer. One reflected the Canon MGS2000 Series under the HP system I am using, the other showed MGS200 series but then had AAS49DC000000 followed by an IP address. I selected the first one, but maybe this is cause of problem.
Are you sure the printer is connected successfully to your wireless network? Have you get the "Connected to the Access Point" message from the printer?
Yes I have received that message after entering in the password. I tried again to insure that it was connected and it went through indicating I was connected to access point.
Let's try this FIRST:1- Turn off your wireless router (and unplug it from the electricity outlet if it does not have a power button) BUT PLEASE FIRST BOOKMARK (add to favorites) THIS PAGE SO YOU CAN COME BACK WITH ME AFTER THE RESTART, and click Accept if the issue is solved (that's the only way I can get paid for my effort. Thank you)2- Turn off your internet modem (if you have one) and unplug it from the electricity outlet3- Turn off your computer(s)4- Turn off your wireless printer(s)5- Wait 60 seconds6- Turn them all ON again.7- Wait 5 minutes (yes, 5 minutes please)8- Try to print now.
Waited five minutes. Tried to print and again message came back unable to print. Then checking printer status found 2 documents stopping printing of new document, deleted them, and then printer again defaulted back to offline. Does not seem to be fixing the issue. Do I need to reload printer ROM disc?
Yes, but only if the disc has Windows 7 drivers. Then when prompted, please select "wireless" or "networked" printer. If no luck, then please disable the antivirus and the firewall on your computer, then restart the computer, then reinstall the software again.
The disc does have Windows 7 drivers. I previously installed and had no problem working with the NetGear router or with the use of the printer with my family's other laptops, including a MacBook and a Windows Vista Desktop.
I will try to reload and see what happens.
OK, please keep me posted!
Still not working after reloading. Not sure what next step is. Sending an inquiry into Canon folks to see if they can figure out what to do and why is stopped working when shows access point found and previous working condition with NetGear router with absolutely no issues.
OK. I will opt out so any other expert can try to help you. You will receive an email when another expert takes your question. The new expert will see all our previous thread, so no need to explain the issue again.Thank you
I was able to solve the issue through a direct contact with Canon folks who insured that the wireless capability was working with all my home computers. Given the opt out from John after trying to assist, no other expert came forward to help me with my problem.
For that reason, I have not submitted the release of my deposit and would like it credited back to my account.
That's great. What was the issue?
