After copying a document, I wanted to print a document from my computer, but can't get out of copy mode. I checked connections, turned printer on and off. No luck. HELP!

- I actually solved the problem myself when I discovered that I had reconnected the printer wrong after taking my computer in to the Apple Store for a lesson. Thanks.
If you look carefully at the printer you'll note that there is no button for "Print" and the reason for this is that all the other functions are for using the printer as if it wasn't connected, nor needed a computer.
All your printing functions that DO use a computer require you to interact with the printer via the computer.
In short, to use the printer from the computer you'll need to make sure you've installed the correct drivers (see your installation CD or the Canon website) and then plug the printer in using a USB cable connection to your computer. If the computer recognises the printer you'll then be able to print.
In a nutshell if your printer is connected and drivers installed properly it doesn't matter what your printer has selected on the printers own control panel, you just print :)
Hope that helps.

Model MX700 - scanner operates to send image to comuter but will not operate to make copies from printer; printing has become very sluggish.
