Canon Pixma MP480 won't communicate.

I tried to uninstall - re - install, restart, remove the drivers, d/l later on canon website. I ran the printer fix suggested by Microsoft. No luck at all...

The question that I have is that my printer will not communicate with my computer. Does not print a page of test after installation, does not read the amounts of ink, does not display an error. The printer works on my other XP and Windows 7 ran the computers. Just not my vista. When I proceed to print a document, it actually stops to communicate with the printer and does nothing else. He would remain like that for a year if I didn't not cancel printing. Any suggestions?

1. the printer is where it should be...

Panel\Hardware and Sound\Printers control

2. the computer has been cleaned of its driver, restarted and led by canon under Vista x 64 d/fees

3. the printer has been restarted

Help out me here, I'm puzzled.

  • Printer (Canon Pixma MP480) do not print

    My Canon Pixma MP480 won't print on my computer, but print on other computers that do not have Vista. I installed the driver several times more directly from the cd that came with it and directly from canon website. I am registered under an account to administer.

    Hi davemsee,

    Have you try to download the latest driver for your printer from Canon?
    Make sure that it is the Vista x 64 bit driver when you download and install.  Remove the old driver completely and restart the computer before the upgrade to the new driver.

    I used GhostBuster to uninstall the old drivers and tried the link but got the same error code message. I contacted Canon once again, but they siad, it must be a mistake by Microsoft and communicate with you. I should add that the device appears on the PC of my wife as a device, but "not configured properly".

  • 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.
