Cannot get Canon printer/fax to print with Windows 7. Shows only the fax dialog box.

I have a Canon MX892 printer/fax/scanner and a new HP laptop with Windows 7.  It shows as Canon MX890 Fax in the peripheral area.  When I try to print, it displays the fax dialog box and will not let me print. How to recognize as a printer?

    Cannot install network printer on Windows 7.  Detects the printer then it says cannot locate the driver.  All my vista and XP machines have no problem finding drivers. It is a 32-bit 64-bit vs questions?  How can I fix it?
    Windows Server 2008 network.  Printers have ip addresses. Install the drivers from the Print Manager.  /Terminal Server Workgroup installation.

    It's the same situation with XP.  The print driver names must match.  If you notice the name of the printer driver that uses XP is a name different from the one that is installed when you plug in the device on the Windows 7 computer.  This is just my assumption, please correct me if this isn't the case.

    The real solution is to install a 32-bit driver on the XP machine that uses the same name that the 64-bit driver and share a printer using this driver or find a 64-bit driver that uses the same name as the 32-bit driver installed on XP and install the driver on XP.

  • Cannot print with Windows 7 and Photosmart 7350

    Hello. Recently, I converted my laptop to Windows 7 Home Premium OS. I have no problem printing to work with this computer of our HP LaserJet but when I enter the problem starts. I have a wireless home network with my Photosmart 7350 connected to my desktop computer that is still running XP. The wizard sees the printer and adds but cannot print a test page. He says that it is waiting, then the print job disappears. I downloaded the Vista driver for the printer. When I run the troubleshooter, it cannot determine the problem. No surprise as convenience stores rarely did help. I got around the problem by sending documents to the desktop so far and then print it from there, but it gets old. Any ideas?

    Please install the printer on Windows 7 by using the following steps:

  • Windows 8 and now cannot get my printer to print. Tried to print a test page, message says "sent to the printer test page", but it does not print.

    I recently downloaded Windows 8 and now cannot get my printer to print.  Tried to print a test page, message says "sent to the printer test page", but it does not print.  Can you help me?

    You have installed the drivers and software for your printer?  Did you go to the printer manufacturer's website to see if they still have 8 available Windows compatible drivers?  If the answer is no, then you must do this before all first I try to print.

  • RightFax Print Option - does not open the Fax dialog box

    Currently using Word 2003 with RightFax 9.3.  Word and RightFax are offered through Citrix.  When choosing, file, print and by selecting the printer RightFax the fax dialog box is not open to allow the user to enter the recipient, fax number, etc..  The document goes through the server, but cannot be sent because there is no reference to a fax number.

    Any suggestions?  (could not get Open Text support).

  • Why my printer does not print with Windows 8?

    Why my printer does not print with Windows 8?

    Did you just upgraded or purchased a new computer with Windows 8, and now you can't get your printer to work?  If so, this can help you.  Many people have questions about the installation of their printer on a new OS.  This will help you answer these questions and make sure you get everything installed.

    Before you start

    Before you try to install the printer on a Windows 8, you should check to make sure that the printer is compatible with the new OS.  The link below will give you a list of printers that will work in Windows 8.

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c03168175

    If you have upgraded your computer to Windows 8 formed another version of Windows, make sure all software uninstall complete of your printer.  It should still print, but to use all the features, you will need to reinstall the software, if available.

    Another thing to consider is how you want to connect the printer to the computer.

    1. USB.  You must ensure that you have a USB cable which does not exceed 6 feet (about 2 m).  Be sure to connect the printer directly to the computer.  Do not use a USB hub.

    2. Ethernet cable.  Make sure you have the network configuration, you have a free cable port on the router, and you have an available Ethernet cable.

    3. Wireless.  You must ensure that you have the configuration of the wireless network, and you have the password of the wireless network.

    1. installation Via USB

    Installation via USB in Windows 8 became much simpler for users of HP printer.  In other versions of the Windows operating system, you need to launch the installation and wait that it asks for the USB connection.  If you do not, you will need to uninstall the printer from the devices and printers folder and then launch the installation.  In Windows 8, which won't be a problem.  If you plug the USB cable from the printer and then install the printer software, work remains.  Now for in depth instructions on installing the printer via the USB port click on the link below.

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c03521864

    2 installation Via an Ethernet network connection

    For an Ethernet connected printer, the installation is disconcerting.  All you have to do is to connect the printer to the network.  Once you have done so, Windows 8 will automatically install the drivers for you.  Then, all you have to do is install the rest of the software, if available.  It's really as simple as that.

    http://WWW8.HP.com/us/en/support-drivers.html

    3 installation Via a wireless network connection.

    For a wireless printer, network installation is disconcerting.  All you have to do is to connect the printer to the network.  Once you have done so, Windows 8 will automatically install the drivers for you.  Then, all you have to do is install the rest of the software, if available.  It is roughly the same as just Wireless Ethernet installation.

    http://WWW8.HP.com/us/en/support-drivers.html

    Alternative installation methods

    With Windows 8, the drivers of many printers are installed with the operating system.  These are called pilots InOS, since they come built-in to the operating system.  If you have one of these printers, you should have to do simply connect it to the computer via USB, or connect to the network via Ethernet or wireless.  Once you have that makes Windows will take care of the rest.  There are other methods of installation of your printer if normal methods don't work for some reason any.  You can install the printer is using the printer, or through Windows Updates Setup Wizard.

    Set printer wizard:

    Windows Update:

    Note: The drivers of Laserjet for the Asia-Pacific and the Japan will come only at a later date.  See below the link support site for the availability of the driver.  I will update this post once they become available.

    I use Vista/Windows Photo Gallery to scan a picture on my Canon printer/scanner and it produces only a small part of the original. What should I do to make it load to 100% of the original?

    Sometimes, there is not enough contrast of a photo
    and a scanner may have problems with the edge detection.

  • Canon MP250 will not scan with Windows 7. 2,155,2 error code

    Canon MP250 will not scan with Windows 7. 2,155,2 error code

    This Canon MP250 printer/scanner never worked well with Windows 7 and 8 for example. Printing would just hang out and print only the laptop restarts. Scanning has been difficult but eventually worked. Now, the scanner does not at all.

    This is the message that comes with the 2,155,2 Error Code:

    Cannot communicate with the scanner. Cable may be disconnected or scanner may be turned off. Check the status. Scanner driver will be closed.

    They aren't joking about the closing of the scanner driver. I didn't know that the closure would be permanent.

    Also, I get the following message when I plug in the printer:

    USB device not recognized.

    It appears to malfunction. Windows accepts the USB port only when I unplug the power cord of the printer and wait half a minute before plugging new.

    Canon told me I need to download the driver software of its UK site and updated. Fact that several times, also uninstalled and reinstalled the original software and the driver supplied with the disc.

    Software will download, but not install. Guard me with the message: do you want this program to make changes to your computer?

    I tried to install the updated driver manually, because Windows does not find a driver for this printer.

    It drives me crazy, slowly. Can anyone help?

    Sorry for the repetitions of my question. I'm new here and I'll try to find the right forum.

    Instead, please answer your original on the subject (this one) thread.
