How to Solve Error Code: 2,157,50 in Canon MX Series Printers

This is Canon Scanner Error

Issue was a scanning error called  Code:  2,157,50  The wireless printer was printing and faxing just fine.  Wouldn’t scan…or more frustratingly would only scan the first few documents then die and pop up that code.

The issue was LOW ROUTER SIGNAL.  You can check it by going to your printer and doing the following:

Setup (left hand side of printer), arrow to Device Settings, Lan Settings, Confirm Lan Settings.  It will print out a report where it will list your signal strength. 19%.  Then stated they really don’t recommend a signal strength under 50%. 

Temporary solution:  Connecting a USB printer cable…NOT an ethernet cable.  You can not use an ethernet and the wireless at the same time for the printer (even if it’s through different computers).   Once you connect the cable, you must go in and TELL it to use the cable.  Sometimes when you connect the cable, you have to wait until your system automatically downloads the driver.  After 5 minutes due low signal strength.  Once it’s loaded properly, it will show up in your “Devices and Printers” as an MX series Printers (Copy 1).    Once it shows up, you now need to tell it to use the cable instead of the network for the scanning.  You do this by:  Opening MX Navigator Ex 4.1,  Go to Preferences (lower left of pop up), go to General tab, go to the box where it should say MX series Printers NETWORK.  Click the down arrow and select “MX 920 Series”.  Obviously you are choosing to go from using the Network to a direct access to the printer via the cable.

Long Term solution:  Move the router closer.  Or, if there are obstacles between the printer and router (electronics, walls, doors, etc), then remove them too.

recommended rebooting your network once in a while, esepcially if you see speed of printing or scanning slowing down.  Do this by unplugging printer and any device connected into the router.  Unplug the router from power and signal.  Plug it back in but add each peripheral in one at a time.  Plug printer back in to power.  You should see an increase to the speed

How to Connect My Canon Printer to My Linksys Router

Linksys routers are devices that share computers and printers across a network. You can connect any machine to the router, including a Canon printer. Linksys routers have a service called a print server that allows you to connect printers and use them from any machine on the network. A print server assigns an IP address to the printer automatically, so every time you turn on the machine it receives an address and you can print from a desktop or laptop on your network

1.   Power on the Canon printer and connect it to the Linksys router. Open a web browser on a machine that is connected to the router. Type the IP address of the router into the address bar of the web browser. For a Linksys router, the default is 192.168.1.1. If you have a username and password set, then enter it int the window that appears. The default username for the Linksys router is "admin" with a blank password.

2. Click the button labeled "Set up Print Server" in the main configuration screen. This starts the process to configure the router for your Canon printer.

3. Click the "Next" button until you reach the screen that has a "Refresh" button on it. Click the "Refresh" button to obtain an IP address for the Canon printer. Click the "Next" button.

4. Select the option labeled "Automatically assign an IP address." This setting gives the printer an IP address each time it's started. Click the "Next" button.

5. Enter a user name and password for the Linksys print server settings. This restricts the printer to authorized users. Click the "Next" button.

6. Enter a user name and password for the router. If you want to keep the existing user name and password, then just click the "Next" button.

7. Click "Next" until you get to the "Test Print" page. Click the button labeled "Test Print" to send a page to the printer. This ensures that the Canon printer is working on the network.
