Canon PIXMA TR4520 Driver, Wireless Setup, Scanner Not Working, Printer Offline, Ink, Paper Feed, ADF, and Fax Problems

Canon PIXMA TR4520 Driver, Wireless Setup, Scanner Not Working, Printer Offline, Ink, Paper Feed, ADF, and Fax Problems

The Canon PIXMA TR4520 is an all-in-one printer, so Windows setup needs the printer driver, scanner software, wireless connection, USB route, and fax or ADF workflow where used. A basic print queue can work while scanning, faxing, Canon software, or wireless discovery still fails.

Canon PIXMA TR4520 wireless setup cannot find the printer

Wireless setup problems usually start when the printer and computer are not on the same reachable network. The TR4520 may show Wi-Fi status on the printer panel while Windows or Canon setup software still cannot find it.

Start by confirming the active Wi-Fi network, restarting the printer, removing old Canon printer entries, and adding the printer again through the current wireless route. A stale wireless route can create the same failure pattern as Wireless Printer Not Found on Windows 11, especially after router changes or a new Windows computer.

Canon PIXMA TR4520 is installed but does not print

The Canon PIXMA TR4520 can appear under Windows printers while jobs still stay in the queue or disappear. The printer may be installed, but the queue, driver, wireless route, or USB route can still be wrong.

Clear stuck jobs, restart Print Spooler, remove duplicate Canon queues, and send one fresh test page through the active printer entry. This is the same Windows print-route problem covered in Printer Connected But Not Printing, Windows Print Not Working, and Print Spooler Not Working on Windows 11.

Canon PIXMA TR4520 appears offline

Offline status usually means Windows is using an old printer route, the queue is paused, Wi-Fi changed, or the printer was added more than once. The printer may still work from a phone while Windows shows it offline.

Clear Use Printer Offline, restart the printer and computer, check the selected Canon queue, and add the TR4520 again through the active connection. This belongs with Printer Offline Error, because the main problem is Windows queue state rather than the printer being physically dead.

Canon PIXMA TR4520 prints but does not scan

Printing and scanning use different driver paths. The TR4520 may print normally while Canon scan software, Windows Scan, or scan-to-computer cannot find the scanner.

Install the Canon scanner software, select the TR4520 scanner source, restart Windows, and test one scan from the computer. This is the same split handled in MFP Prints But Does Not Scan, Scanner Cannot Communicate With Computer, and Scan to Computer Not Working.

Canon scan software cannot communicate with the TR4520

Canon software may open but fail to reach the scanner. This usually happens when the printer was moved from USB to Wi-Fi, the network changed, or the software remembers an old scanner route.

Reconnect the printer through the active route, select the TR4520 inside the scan software, allow local network access through Windows security prompts, and test a basic scan. The same scanner-source behavior appears on Canon scanner pages like Canon CanoScan LiDE 400, Canon CanoScan LiDE 120, and Canon CanoScan LiDE 220.

Canon PIXMA TR4520 USB setup fails

USB setup can fail when Windows creates a generic printer entry, the cable is connected too early, or the printer is moved between ports after installation. The printer may appear in Windows without printing or scanning correctly.

Disconnect the USB cable, remove failed Canon entries, install the full Canon package, restart Windows, and reconnect the printer directly to the computer. This matches issues described across Printer Not Printing Over USB and USB Scanner Not Detected on Windows 11, because the TR4520 can fail on the printer side, scanner side, or both.

Canon PIXMA TR4520 blank pages, missing ink, or faded output

Blank pages, missing black, faded color, or uneven output usually means the print job reached the printer but ink did not reach the page correctly. Reinstalling the driver does not fix an ink-flow or cartridge-output problem.

Check ink status, reseat cartridges, run a test pattern, clean only as needed, and test a simple document. Output problems belong with Printer Prints Blank Pages, while Canon inkjet pages such as Canon PIXMA MX492 and Canon PIXMA TR4700 provide strong same-brand support.

Canon PIXMA TR4520 paper feed or ADF problems

Paper feed and ADF issues are separate from Windows driver setup. The printer may fail to pick up paper, pull sheets crookedly, jam during printing, or fail to feed originals through the ADF for copying or scanning.

Reload clean paper, align the guides, reduce the stack, check for curled sheets, and test one page or one original at a time. Jam behavior connects directly with Printer Says Paper Jam But No Paper Is Stuck, while scan-feed failures match the Scanner Cannot Communicate With Computer.

Canon PIXMA TR4520 fax setup does not work

Fax setup depends on the device workflow and Windows software path, not only the print driver. The TR4520 may print and scan while fax sending or fax-related setup still fails.

Install the full Canon package, confirm the fax workflow, check recipient and line settings where used, and test a simple fax path. This fits the same driver separation covered in Windows Fax Not Working, Canon Super G3, and Canon imageCLASS MF236n.

Canon PIXMA TR4520 FAQ

Q: Why does the Canon TR4520 print from phone but not Windows?

A: Mobile printing and Windows printing may use different routes. Remove old Canon queues from Windows and add the printer again through the active wireless or USB path.

Q: Why does the Canon TR4520 print but not scan?

A: The print driver may be installed while the scanner software is missing or pointing to an old route. Install the full Canon software package and select the TR4520 scanner source.

Q: Why does the Canon TR4520 appear offline?

A: Windows may be using an old queue or paused printer state. Clear offline mode, restart Print Spooler, and rebuild the printer entry.

Q: Why are Canon TR4520 pages blank or faded?

A: The job is reaching the printer, so ink, cartridge seating, nozzle pattern, and printhead behavior should be checked instead of reinstalling the driver again.
