Old printer Canon Pixma MP500 and fairly new Acer Aspire Netbook.

I have a CanonPixma MP500 Printer/scanner/copier that worked very well. on my desk. I now have an Aspire One Acer Netbook and I have set the printer after buying a lot of expensive ink and hooked it up to netbook - generally things are taken & play... Cannot get this to work at all. I'm puzzled. Can anyone help?

What version of Windows is on your new netbook?

How were you trying to set up the printer?

  • I have just connected it and expected to work
  • I used the Add Printer Wizard
  • I inserted the CD that came with the printer and started the installation routine
  • I downloaded the software from the Canon Website and he ran

That's happened?  If you got an error message, please quote completely, without paraphrasing.

  • I can't access my CanonMX3 printer (Canon Pixma MX320 Series) of my computer running Windows 7, since I've changed in Windows XP.

    I REALLY NEED HELP TO CONNECT MY PRINTER TO MY COMPUTER OVER ETHERNET NETWORK!

    I am too having the same problem. But when my Windows 7 detects the printer (Canon Pixma MX30 Series), it says: "cannot connect to the printer access denied." in another window that says: "connection to CanonMX3 on...» Driver search. I installed the drivers in normal installation and also while in Windows Explorer.

    I'm running an T3304 eMachine with concert 1.3 gig RAM 2.0 GHz 100 HARD drive. When I was running Windos XP, I had no trouble to run my printer on my computer. The printer is connected to another computer and I access it through the other computer via ethernet gateway. My ethernet gateway is a Desktop Switch ProSafe NertGear 120/100 5 - port.

    I did everything as I would have done it all by running Windows XP and also used the Windows 7 help files. Everything I read that I made and I am still unable to connect to the printer and print. I went as far as hanging the printer on my computer, and that day, I was actually able to print even if it's with erors. I contacted Canon and downloaded the new drivers for Windows 7 and still no luck.

    When I ran Windows XP I would install the printer on my computer and I have it print to a file and it would be later configuration of the port it to connect through. I have also tried this and no luck.

    What operating system is the computer that has the printer connected to the current?

    Also check the permissions on the printer... is the username of the Win7 PC added to this?

  • Problem Canon PIXMA MP760 and Windows 7

    Hello.

    I just installed Windows 7 and tried to connect my printer (Canon PIXMA MP760). He finds some drivers it cost but it showd a mistake and this seems to be the main engine.

    I have also tried to download driver from here https://www.microsoft.com/windows/compatibility/windows-7/en-us/Details.aspx?type=Hardware&p=Canon%20PIXMA%20MP760%20Photo%20All-In-One%20Printer&v=Canon&uid=9792A005&pf=0&pi=4&c=Printers%20%26%20Scanners&sc=Multifunction&os=32-bit

    But when he took out and so now he appears just "check the connection of the cable between the printer and the computer... blabla".

    I tried to reconnect the printer, enable/disable, restart the pc, checked the cable connection +++ but I can't make it work.

    When I go to devices and printers, I see that the scanner of the printer part appears as a device, but not the printer itself.

    Someone has any advice on what to do to get it working?

    EDIT: I also tried to install the printer on another computer with windows 7. Same problem there. :(

    Hi printerhelp,

    Please do not forget to go to the Canon website to download the software and drivers for Windows 7, as the two look update:

    http://www.USA.Canon.com/consumer/controller?Act=ModelInfoAct&tabact=DownloadDetailTabAct&fcategoryid=334&ModelId=11010

    If this isn't your correct printer, you should be able to look it up directly on the Canon site.

    I hope this helps!

  • RAM and SSD for my new Acer Aspire R7 752-5893

    Suggestions for the type of RAM and SSD memory for my new Acer Aspire R7 752-5893? TX in advance.

    You will need RAM SO-DIMM 204 format pins for your laptop. DDR3-1600 (PC3-12800, also known as) should work a treat.

    Your SSD should have an MSATA interface, so depending on what is here right now, you can place in a Plextor M6M disc.

    There are a few live hidden on the chassis of R7 - you can take a look here and see how to open it, and then you will know what players and the RAM slots you have available.

  • 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. It is directly connected via a USB port. The strange thing is, it's an all-in-one printer, scanner, copier, and it allows me to scan images on my computer. When I try to print a document, it times out. No error message appears on the printer LCD. It works on my friends computer that uses windows XP... My operating system is Vista 64 x.  If anyone has any advice I would be recognizing an email to

    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.

    Post back with the resulf so we can provide you with more support, Kevin

    Windows 8 is a strange beast!

    Just bought a Canon Pixma MG5320 to go with my new Inspiron 2330 Touch all-in-one printer...
    After SEVERAL TRIES, it will not download CD Canon!  Somehow, with the USB printer, it will print BUT I can't analyze;  not the end of the world, but I pay $100 + $ for the 3-in-1 printer and would like to get some use out of it other than the printer option.
    There, can someone help me? It's the guest who stops at all of the company:
    "DRIVER IN USE. IF YOU DO NOT USE THE PRINTER DRIVER, IT CAN BE USED BY OTHERS ON THIS COMPUTER.  QUIT ALL APPLICATIONS AND THE PROPERTIES OF THE PRINTER, AND THEN TRY AGAIN.
    IF YOU STILL HAVE A PROBLEM, RESTART THE COMPUTER, AND THEN TRY AGAIN. »
    Well... that has not worked.
    Always prints.  No sweeping.

  • I can't print with the printer canon pixma comment do?

    Adobe comment print with?

    Hi marie-josed29443125,.

    Do I understand correctly that you try to print from an application Adobe to a Canon Pixma? What application you use, and you are on Mac OS or Windows? Are you able to print to that you print from other applications (not Adobe)?

    In general, as long as you have the printer set up with the right connection and the printer driver, you should be able to print from applications, including those from Adobe.

    I suspect that you may be running in trouble with the printer, so please let us know if you have a specific problem with an Adobe application, and we will try to get it sorted.

    Best,
