"An older version of the MF drivers exist in this computer...". »

I updated to Windows 7 to 10 yesterday.  My Canon MF4890dw did not allow the other side.  It is not listed under printers.  I suspect that the "unknown USB device" is my printer.

I downloaded the latest driver from canon site.  When I went to install, I got the error message "an older version of the MF drivers exist in this computer.  Uninstall the old version of the MF drivers and then try to install again. "OK, so I went in the programs list and installed the driver of Canon and the Canon Toolbox.  Click right and removed (uninstalled)? the unknown USB device.  Disconnecting the USB cable.  Restarted.  Still had the same error message when I tried to install the new.

So I tried my C: drive for anything with the word 'Canon' and 'MF48 '.  I deleted all files except what was in 'Récent' and what was 'C:\windows.old.  I want to be able to go back to Windows 7 if necessary.  Rebooted even.  But still I got the old driver error message.

Find the file DelDrv.exe in the Canon stuff that I downloaded.  He ran.  He said "no target device has been found."

Searched online forums for similar issues.  Impossible to find answers for my situation.  Can anyone help?  I try next?

Oh, good grief.  Finally solved my problem.  Found the solution a way down in a Microsoft forum thread.

Solution: (In the windows 10)

Right-click on the Start button, select Control Panel

Click on devices and printers

Simple regular click on all the printers listed (I clicked on Microsoft Print to PDF)

Near the top of the window, a little in from left to right, you will see the text "Print server properties", click on that. (It is a right of ways to add a device)

In the new window, select the tab drivers

In the list "installed printer drivers:" select all Canon MF... of one type names and click on delete one by one.

From there, I took the option "remove driver and driver package" (who knows, maybe "Remove driver only." might have worked)

In my view, the next window said something about after having collected the drivers, and I clicked on the Remove option.

I got an error message "could not remove the cnxrpua6.inf package. Access is denied. "  That is why I wrote above that perhaps the option "remove driver only" might work better.  But the error does not matter since I was immediately able to install Canon drivers, that I had downloaded.  No reboot needed.

  • Is possible to install and play a game that requires an older version of the software?

    Is possible to install and play a game that requires an older version of the software? I get the message "cannot open the application because the classroom environment is no longer supported.

    It does not say "classic environment is no longer supported", by chance?

    If that means he needs OS9 or earlier, or possibly 10.5.8 which has Rosetta, a Classic emulator.

  • Tecra M5 BIOS v3.30 seems to be an older version of the v3.03

    Hello

    I installed the latest version of the BIOS on the Toshiba Support website on my M5. The upgrade file displayed as version 3.30 seems to perfom a downgrade from version 3.20 to v3.03. The timestamp of the 'improved' BIOS (14.11.2006) also indicates that it is an older version of the version 3.20 the previous version. Is this a known issue?

    Thank you

  • OfficeJet 4635 cancel the firmware update because my ink cartridges are for older versions of the product

    I was happy with my officejet 4635 until I clicked on ok to apply for the HP firmware update. He said that it would improve my printer. However, demand has not said that my ink cartridges may not work if I installed the update. I clicked on ok and the update has been successfully installed. Now I can't print anything because I get an error message saying the I have ink cartridges are designed for older versions of the product. I do not use the new HP cartridges because they cost too much. I used cartridges refilled abacus in Az. Phhoenix which worked fine up until I did the update of the firmware of HP. I need to go back to the old system, so I can print again. I am connected to a desktop computer HP envy running windows 8.1. I'm furious HP to try and force you to buy their new cartridges with an update of something. I think that whoever came up with this update should be fired. Any help with a solution would be appreciated.

    I was told that there is no way to undo the update of the firmware. HP did send me a few ink cartridges so I could print again, but I am still ticked about the way this has been ensured by HP. They have not told me that my old version cartridges would not more work after updating firmware. I think that it is simply dishonest on part of HP and I am sure that other customers have been captured by this update of the firmware. I am sure it was a HP effort going to force you to use their new cartridges. I'll be very careful on the acceptance of the updates from HP in the future.

    You can get the older version from here if you need and then enter your serial number.

    You can install and activate the perpetual software (purchased) two computers of the same type (mac or pc), as long as you use it on one at a time. (lightroom is the exception because it is a product of multi platform, so it can be installed on the pc and mac platforms) If you do not have access to your old computer because you have replaced a hard drive, upgraded your operating system to format your computer before you deactivate your software or your computer is dead, you can ask Adobe Support to help you disable from a machine, you cannot access.

  • How to make all the pages of a PDF form of several page to print in older versions of the reader?  Player 11 prints all; 10 player skips the first page

    I'm new to creating forms, please excuse my ignorance. I created a form of the 9 page in InDesign on Mac OS 10.6.8 CS6 and exported as an interactive PDF. With Acrobat 10.1.10 I checked that there are no security - everything is allowed. None of the fields on form is required.  I initially had some fields mandatory but is not necessary to see if my printing problem would go.  I activated the extension which allows versions of reader before 11 to save data in the form. Page 1 has fields drop down list, radio buttons, a "submit" button and text fields.  The rest of the form has boxes option and text fields. Some of the people who have tried my form will say that they can print pages 2 through 9, but not on page 1. One of them is known to use Reader 10. I tried to print my form with Reader 11 on Max OX 10.6.8 and Reader 11 on Windows 8.1 and haven't seen any problems printing. What have I done wrong?  Is there something on the submit button on page 1 that made old versions of the drive do not want to print this page?  There is nothing of propriety or sensitive on the form, so I'll leave it for awhile in Dropbox, where someone is willing to inspect it.  It is to

    Update from the upgrade - two different animals.  Updates the software that they update.  Upgrades of Adobe products do not need previous versions.

    Improved versions are better off removed before installing updates.  There are occasions where different versions share a file where deleting an older version after installing the newest one can delete a necessary file.

  • Older versions of the Client/Agent display are compatible with the 3.1 Manager connections?

    Hello

    I want to update my servers VMWare view to version 3.1 support RGS.  However, we have a bunch of thin clients around the area that are already installed and would be a pain to remember and upgrade.  Is the 3.0.1 client and agent compatible with the broker for the 3.1 connections?  Bascially, could I just upgrade the security servers and brokers and install the new client and the agent that we get the opportunity?

    Thank you!
