Windows 7 does not contact Canon MP250 printer scanner

Tried to download drivers and software updated on the Canon, but Microsoft site not even allow them to get a foot in the door. I get the message, "do you want this program to make changes to your computer? I agree, it goes through the installation apparently successfully, and then when I try to open and use the software it brings back me to the same message.

I tried to uninstall the software and drivers supplied with the original Canon disc by going to control panel-programs-uninstall, but it does not seem possible to uninstall completely.
The unit never worked properly with Windows 7. Print only crashes until I got this shot of an inch with a reboot and scan has always been difficult. Now, I can't scan at all, just to get a 5,155,55 error code and message:

"Cannot communicate with the scanner. Cable may be disconnected or scanner may be turned off. Check the status. Scanner driver will be closed. "The old trick of shutting down the computer and power off and disconnect from each other and of the socket does not help.

On the upgrade of Explorer 8 to 9 from Solution Explorer, IE 9 recognizes any printer so I uninstalled IE 8. Then came the automatic update for IE 10 (not sure why Microsoft chose to do) so I uninstalled it and now I'm to IE 8 again. Looks like I'll have to deal with the inconvenience of an old browser in the hope that it will be more compatible with my printer as a new browser.

To surf on the Net about it for a long time, it seems to be really popular and I was expecting to find much more information about it on this forum. I also expected to Canon and Microsoft to be a little more proactive to try to resolve these problems.

Anyone have any ideas?

God only knows what was going on with this Canon MP250, (which may be several years old), but I can tell you that you're NOT the first owner of Pixma to face such problems with IE9 or IE10 installed.

If the top of the brother & running OK, paste the winner: just empty the barrel (namely electronic recycling center).

TIP: Si Wal-Mart sells the printer, chances are you want something else (not a Wal-Mart or the other).

    Hello GDB8791,

    Thank you for posting.  The only time where I can think about when a camera come in the 'Computer' window would be if it has a type of storage device that it contains.  For example, a flash drive or memory key/card.  Check if you have the storage card inserted in the camera.  You can also open the Photo Gallery and select Import to see if it will access the camera.

    You do not add a printer driver for printers and Scanners.  You add the printer itself.

    The Epson Artisan 50 is not a printer capable of AirPrint, as shown here:

    (I have an Epson taking is an AirPrint printer, and it works very well with OS X 10.11.5.)

    The Artisan 50 printer seems (but not scanner) software in the Apple driver:

    My new computer Windows 8 does not recognize my Canon SELPHY printer. What can I do?

    1. What is the number of the Canon Selphy printer model?

    2. have you installed the drivers from the printer?

    3 have you tried to plug it into different USB ports?

    b. expand Print Queues , and then right-click on the printer.
    c. Select Properties , and then check to see if the device works properly under device status.

    Is there a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark inside, then it indicates that there is a problem with the drivers.

    Follow these methods and check if that helps.

    Method 1: It is easier to connect to a printer on Windows 8.  Simply plug the USB cable from your printer to a USB port available on your computer.  If the computer is not find the printer, then plug it into another USB port and verify.

    Some older printers can require additional information to complete the installation, so connect you using the Advanced Printer Setup.

    Method 2: If there are no printer drivers available for the printer, then I suggest you to install the driver in compatibility mode.

    Windows 7 does not recognize that a Canon canoscan 8000F is as a device when it is connected to the USB port.  Tried unplugging, reboot & reconnect, in different orders, but the computer does not recognize there is.  Tried to install a European website for Canon driver: Scangear CS, 8000fvst8120a_xpen.exe, which is advertised as compatible with Windows 7.   But the installer does not work.

    Hello Graboots,

    Thank you for your message.  You can plug your printer on another computer, in order to exclude the possibility that the problem lies in the printer?  You can try using a different cable, for this rule as well.  Since it is a question of recognition, we remove the external devices before software troubleshooting.  Do you get anything when you plug the printer (ie. a tinkle of connection)?  Please let us know, we are looking forward to hear back on your part.
    See you soon

  • I'm scanning in legal size docs. with my printer/scan/fax. The application of fax scan in windows 7 does not show an option to paper size for legal-size paper.

    I have a new HP with Windows 7.  I'm scanning in legal size docs. with my printer/scan/fax.  The application of fax scan in windows 7 does not show an option to paper size for legal-size paper.  I could do this on my old XP computer.  Microsoft forgot add parameters of legal size in this application?

    Hello notnewbee,

    Thanks for posting on the Microsoft answers Forum.

    You do not give the model of your printer/scanner/fax machine so I can't direct you to the website of the manufacturer of specifc. However, I would
    you go to the website of the manufacturer of your printer and download the latest drivers for Windows 7. Sometimes, if you use a driver that is not intended for your operating system, then your device can operate and install, but some features may not work.

    If they do not have an updated driver, then try the compatibility mode for Windows XP and see if your printer will work correctly.
    The information below will show you how you can make older programs run on Windows 7 here.

    If please reply back and let us know if this helps solve your problem or if you still need help.

  • Cannot install the drivers for the Dell 725 of CD printer as the computer tells me that Windows 7 does not recognize

    I have a Dell InspironM5010 with Windows 7 installed and you want to use a Dell 725 printer with it. I have the CD with the drivers of the printer, but can not load as the computer tells me that Windows 7 does not recognize

    Original title: ask the community

    Your CD is too old, but you can be lucky...

    Is there a downloadable file here for your printer...

    Hey guys,.

    I'm having a problem with trying to capture video from my Canon Vixia HV40 and do it on Adobe Premiere Pro CS6.

    I think that the main problem is that my laptop (running Windows 8) does not even recognize my camera using a fire wire.

    I've linked download these drivers and nothing works. Can someone help me please?

    I use fire wire that turns a USB port, if that tells you anything.

    Hello

    Let me try and help you with the problem.

    1. you try connecting the camera for the first time on your computer?

    To open Device Manager, press the key Windows key + X and choose Device Manager.

    In Device Manager, check if the camera is recognized.

  • Computer does not recognize that this printer is connected

    Hi - We have a new laptop and it does not recognize the old printer.  So, I'm trying to download the driver for it.  However, when I try to download it, it says "Waiting for the user to connect the printer", but the printer is already connected via a USB cable.

    I tried an another USB cable to ensure that it was not that.  I also made sure the printer is on and print a sample page.  What should I do now?

    Hello!

    I'm a little confused abouut your problem. you try to RUN the software and complete functionality to your direct printer from the Hp Web site? If so, Hp does not recommend this process.

    Better to save full feature software and driver first before installing because by clicking RUN directly connected to the internet, you will have a problem to install - some will get instaalation error-corrupted files.

    Pls. click the download button and save it to your desktop.

    Also, before you install it, also try a different USB port on the computer, disable any third-party software on your computer like antivirus, firewalls and spyware because it could block some of the drivers for your printer specifically for scanning. Re-enale the protection again after installation.

    If still not detected, you can try inserting a USB stick to the USB port on your computer. If it works, doesn't mean no problem with the USB PORT.

    TRY THIS ONE, if you are using windows, go to device manager look for the USB if you have a yellow caution icon trhat brand-right click and select put updated driver or select Properties, and then click Properties window simply select Update driver - let windows search the driver online.

    Then try to reinstall, if not solved try this one:

    1. Click Start and then click run . The run dialog box opens.
