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.

    Original title: Canon mg3200 will not work

    Hello Deborah,.

    The simple answer is to go to the canon website and download the driver here: http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/support . You will need specific printer model number. This approach will you get the latest driver, avoid any problem of corrupted drive and give you a forum site for questions specific to the printer.

  • Canon Pixma MG3520 - does not light

    Canon Pixma MG3520

    I have just printed/copied paperwork this week!

    It absolutely, positively, not light.

    I bought this last semester, which would have been around January or February of this year.

    It has not been moved, the circuit on the Strip, to which it is connected has not been triggered, everything must be in perfect working condition.

    How can I go about it? Reset somehow? Send it for repair? Do a dance and sacrificing a Nikon?

    Help please. I will need very soon for the school.

    Update:

    Fact a little research and it is a known problem with the firmware.

    See here: http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/support/consumer/printers_multifunction/pixma_mg_series/pixma_mg3520?p...

    And here: http://usa.canon.com/cusa/support/consumer/printers_multifunction/pixma_mg_series/pixma_mg3520#Drive...

    I unplug for a bit more than two minutes and did not return.

    Now, at the beginning when I was doing the instiallation, he says that he has failed. But I turned the printer and turn it on again (hah...) after failure and we are back online and print. So I don't know if the firmware updated succeeded. But the printer works again and that's all that matters for now!

  • Printing problems with a Canon Pixma MX882 do not print the correct paper size.

    This is a new PROBLEM.  Never had this problem before.

    I'm under Windows8, 64 bit.

    I am suddenly unable to print all labels postage to NORMAL size = 100%.

    He coinstantsly everything shrinks to half size no matter what I change settings.

    I've looked through the software and the printer settings and may NOT know what is the cause of the problem.

    The assumption is that MS Updates caused the problem.
    The resolution has been going to the Canon USA site.
    The very recent updated drivers was available for my printer.
    Download and install the updated drivers solves the problem.

  • 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.

    I also tried the USB Setup. It seems to work but I still get this error: "program could not load the required component and it will put end. Please reinstall your software." I uninstalled the software several times, shut down the PC, reinstalled the software, all to nothing does not. I can see the printer in the devices with the usb or wsd drivers Manager, but it is not available to any program.
    Setup has failed by using the disc that came with the printer and the file downloaded from Canon: mp68-victory-mp5400-1_01 - ejs.exe.
    I returned the printer to the seller.

    If you are still experiencing difficulties after cleaning, please call or write us using one of the methods on the page contact us for further assistance.

  • 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.

    Method 2:
