Just like many others, I am having trouble getting this app to work 98% of the time. I keep getting messages that the printer is not available when it actually is sitting idle. I get messages regarding spooling, and it just cycles and cycles and cycles. And sometimes it says it's printing, but nothing prints. other times when I get so frustrated with the cycling after it says "Printing" and I try to cancel it. just like with the spooling, it cycles in perpetuity. Come on Canon, do better!

Basically, it's usless! Every time! Every time I use it, says the printer is not available or blocked. Then, after spending 20 to 30 minutes troubleshooting this and that, maybe it will print but, probably not! Literally, it's easier to email and print files from my computer. UPDATE, I've reinstalled the app. Somehow they made it worse.(Imagine that!) Alone with printer errors, it's also blocking other computers from printing. Google should remove.

Same as all the others; it won't allow me to print about 98% of the time. Making my brand new color laser printer useless. HOW CAN CANON REALLY CONTINUE TO IGNORE THE ISSUE? They make products that use Lasers; LASERS!! Providing a simple, effective app is a no-brainer. Should be a point of pride to have an effective little app when selling their precious $500 printers. I didn't buy it to use as a massive paperweight! FIX THIS! UNFATHOMABLE
