Canon PIXMA MG2120 & printer driver installation to installation problems

Hello. I just bought a pc laptop ASUS R503U which Windows 8 operating system.  I can't install the driver or complete installation of my printer, a Canon PIXMA MG2120 on my new laptop.  When I try, I get a message that says: cannot install driver mp because it is being used by someone else to the computer.  When this occurs, the installation process is abandoned. I tried to reinstall, disable the firewall, reboot, but I keep getting the same message always. What gives?

Hello

As Canon OEM is responsible for the good operation of the printer and their
drivers provided. Check with Canon support, online documentation, and

Good luck, you need to update or reinstall the latest driver.

  • My CANON PIXMA MG3200 printer driver is corrupt!

    My printer Canon PIXMA 3200 seems to overlap when I try to print-copy! Some TECH of the CANON, at least that's what he said he was. Told me that my printer driver has been corrupted & I needed $ 199.99 for the Correct program pay! I don't have any money right now, trying to find a job with my printer creates more financial problems & I need a solution that is free! Anyone have any Suggestions? Please I need help!

    If this is a problem with the printer driver, you don't need to pay anything.

    You must uninstall the printer drivers and related software (commercial printer) first and then install the driver from http://usa.canon.com/cusa/consumer/products/printers_multifunction/photo_all_in_one_inkjet_printers/pixma_mg3220#DriversAndSoftware

    First uninstall, the Start button > type devices and printers > open devices and printers. Select your printer, right click and select remove device.

    Then go to programs and features in Control Panel and uninstall the printer utilities.

    Then download the drivers on link and install.

    If the problem is not resolved, you may need to contact Canon support. But in this case, it is not likely to be a driver problem, but rather a problem with the printer itself.

  • Windows 7 64 bit laptop on wireless network can not find .inf wired for Canon Pixma iP4000 printer driver for windows 7 32 bit PC

    First of all, I read the thread on the laptop win 7 and win XP PC with attached IP4000.  I have just isn't helping me with that.  I am computer literate network, but I have to be dumbing down, so be specific in a response, you can give it.  Please, do not assume I know something just because it can be public knowledge.  Thank you for understanding my situation!

    New Win 7 64 bit laptop connected wireless to a network home through a Netgear WNDR3700 router.  Wired to the router, it is a PC with a USB attached printer Canon IP4000.  This printer has worked without problem with this PC for years.  Add the laptop.  Try to access the printer on the network (it is set to be shared on the PC) translates into an inability to find the driver for the printer.  On the Canon download site, I downloaded and installed on both machines the driver add-on 'aomwin110ea23us.exe '.  This does nothing to solve the problem.  Then, follow the suggestions in the thread referenced above, I downloaded installed 7 - zip and unzipped the file add-on from Canon.  Guess what? -There is no, zero, nada, stupid ".inf" file in there!  I understand that I need share on the PC to both x 32 and x 64, but without a valid .inf file to point to, I'm sunk.  And the same is true when you try to add the printer to the laptop - not to point to .inf file.  Is the only thing that I have not tried to install the printer directly to the laptop via the USB port, and it's because this is not a configuration that is usable for me.  The printer must be attached to the PC.  Is there anyone out there who can help me solve this dilemma?  Please do not give me an answer telling me to download the driver - usually you tell me precisely what driver and then guide me through the process.  Rest assured that I appreciate sincerely any help you can give me.  Thanks in advance!

    Most likely the name of the driver you are using on XP to share the printer a is not not the name of the 64-bit driver.  The pilots names must match in order to add the printer as a connection to the 64-bit computer using the normal RPC protocol.  You can configure the printer on 64-bit Windows 7 as a local printer that will basically copy the data from the printer to the format to share on the XP machine using SMB protocols.

    This is a Ko for incompatible drivers when connecting XP to NT4.  Replace your server / client configuration, but it's the same process.  Make sure that you are connected to the internet and select the Canon 64 bit driver available on Windows Update (use the Windows Update button in add printer) http://support.microsoft.com/kb/282842

  • The HP printer driver installation problems

    I downloaded the driver for my HP Photosmart 7760 printer on my Acer Aspire, but it will not run or recognize my camera, even with the USB plugged in. I was able to do this a month ago, all I need, it was the USB cable to connect to print. Recently, I had my phone reset to factory due to a problem of camera settings. Now I can't install the driver of printer as before, and the same diagnosis he didn't work. Anything else I can try?

    Hi Tiana_XC,

    Welcome to the HP forums!

    I see that you are working with a Photosmart 7760 and having problems to print now, but a month ago, it was printing OK. I'm sorry to hear that, but I'll certainly do my best to give a helping hand

    What version of Windows is on your laptop?

    It is possible that you need to run your Windows updates to get the printer installed correctly after being reset to the factory settings. The method that this printer is installed through the most recent operating systems is through the updates of Windows, so I'll propose to run those and try to hook the printer again.

    Hope to hear from you soon... If all goes well with good news

  • Windows 7 can not find .inf driver for Canon Pixma iP4000 printer connected to Windows XP.

    I have a laptop running Windows 7 (64-bit machine) I want to print from.  The laptop is on a home network wireless.  The office is wireless as well and is running Windows XP.  The Office has a Canon Pixma iP4000 printer connected with a parallel cable.  I installed the latest XP drivers for the printer on the desktop.  The laptop can connect directly to the printer with a USB cable and drivers will download automatically and it will print correctly.  However, I can't connect the printer using the wireless system.  I can go on the laptop to the home network and navigate to the printer and try to install.  It makes an automatic search and says that it cannot find the correct drivers.  I can browse to the file to install on my desktop, but it of an .exe file and not. INF.  I run the .exe file and it installs too, but Setup of printer on the laptop won't let me not by the .inf screen add to complete the installation of a wireless printer.

    Any suggestions?

    Very probably the XP driver name is different from the name of 64-bit driver.  Create a Local Port which copies the data to the print size in Windows 7.

    Here is an article knowledge base how to the names of the incompatible drivers.  Replace the Windows 7 machine for NT4 machine referenced in the article.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/282842

    If you load the printer driver 32-bit on your 64-bit computer, you need the 32-bit driver for Windows 7.  You can do if you have a 32-bit computer of Windows 7 on the network to push pilots up to the machine that is sharing the printer.  None are flat files on the Windows 7 DVD, you need to install the OS or mount the ISO.

    The key to successful sharing between computers that run different printing architecture processors is pilot name.  PCL6 equal NOT PCL 6.

  • Driver for Canon Pixma IP4600 printer

    I had to reinstall Windows on my PC due to obtaining a bad virus.  My Canon Pixma IP4600 printer worked before the re - install, but now windows can't find a driver.  I spoke to Canon and they said that they offer is no longer supported, but Windows should continue to support and drivers must come from there.  I tried a driver through Control Panel, but it is said that a driver is not available.  This printer is not that old, so I can't believe that there is no driver available to all.  Can you help me please?

    I'm sorry, but as I explained Microsoft does not write drivers for Canon products.

    Microsoft writes and provides drivers for their own products.

    All drivers that Microsoft may provide in their OS for Canon products provided by Canon.

    I suggest that contact you Canon and get them to set this output or first try the Vista drivers.

    Kind regards.

  • Canon PIXMA MX922 printer will allow no 2-sided Word documents

    I just installed a new Canon PIXMA MX922 printer to replace an old MX882.  Everything works fine and I am able to print on both sides documents from web pages and e-mail by checking the 'duplex' box on the menu drop down print...  However, I am unable to both sides print all Word documents.  No check box 'two-sided' descend, and no "duplex" option is available, as it was with the MX882.  I never had this problem with the old MX882.  Can you help me?

    Thank you very much.

    Hi LonnieC,

    To set the option to print double-sided on a Mac, please open the printer driver:

    1. Select layout... in the file menu of the application.  The Layout dialog opens.

    2. Select print... in the file menu of the application.  The Print dialog box opens. In the print dialog box, you can set the paper type and print quality for printing.

  • Canon Pixma iP1500 printer and it connect not gives an error code 20

    I have a canon Pixma iP1500 printer and it does not connect gives an error code 20?

    Hello

    1. If it works much earlier?

    2. did you make any changes before this problem?

    3. What is the exact message you received?

    I suggest to go through these steps and check.

    Method 1:

    This is due to the UAC. Disable UAC will help because UAC prompts the user the permission to continue, the time required to get the question and answer that cause the printer to turn it off.

    If you do not want to activate UAC you can call EnablePrinter when the capture of the EnablePre() event generated by the driver.

    Note: User Account Control (UAC) can help you to prevent your computer from unauthorized changes. It works by asking permission when a task requires administrative rights, such as installing software or changing settings affecting other users. We do not recommend disable user account control. If you turn it off, you must reactivate as soon as possible.

    Original title: Ms. Sue Somerville

    CANON PIXMA MG3250 PRINTER

    Yellow light (danger?) in the top left corner and the printer does not print. It was OK until I changed the inks.

    I lost instructions and can't download the manual though, like many others I tried for hours!

    I used little of this printer and just need to do simple, but urgent tasks.

    Are we supposed to it's bin and get another, then we can just get instructions and resume our work?

    I don't know about spacing in your message.  Heh

    This is a question for CANON - those who make and take over the device in question.  Everything you describe indicate that this is NOT a computer / software somehow problem and the problem would be the same if the device was not connected to any computer at all, an OS X one or a Linux one...

    These are the Microsoft forums.

    Here is the Canon forums:

    I suggest out of ink, check you removed all the "stickers" on the ink that * need * to be removed to work properly and make sure that the ink properly.  Print the pattern check nozzles and then to make sure that everything is installed properly:

    1. Make sure that the power is turned on.

    1. Load a sheet of A4 or letter paper format in the front tray.

    1. Open the output tray extension, open the paper output tray, and then extend the output paper support.

    1. Print the nozzle check pattern.

    (1) press on the button in Maintenance for poster has.

    (2) press the color or black.

    The ground of review of the nozzle will print.

    1. Review the rationale for control of the nozzle.
