Printing Takes Forever:Canon Is Virtually Unuseable
Mar 23, 2008
I'm running Vista Home Premium and have just installed a Canon LBP5000 Colour Laser. It works okay but printing anything takes forever... A colour picture can take up to 5mins to print and a simple paragraph in black on a single sheet will take 2 to 3 minutes. I've tried uninstalling & reinstalling the printer
software/drives but no difference. This printer was on an XP machine and when printing from that it was as good as gold. I tried sharing it off the XP machine to the Vista machine but got the same result... slow as a wet week! Has anybody got any ideas? The way things stand the Canon is virtually unusable.

Just did a clean install of VISTA Home Premium SP2 including all MS updates on an AMD dual core, 3GB RAM, 250GB HP. Also installed MS Office 2007 and a few other mainstream apps.
Tried using built-in disk defragmenter but gave up after 10-12 hours. Tried running from the command line with a few switches - and gave up after 8 hours. Running defraggler right now. Got to 50% in first 2.5 hours. At 74% after an additional 11 hours - just hit 75%. I think it took 2-3 hours to go from 74-75. It's still flipping through the files but doesn't seem to be progressing. Defraggler shows "8 fragmented files (22GB); 43 total fragments; 22% fragmentation." I guess I'll let it run through the night.
How long should it take to defrag a clean install of VISTA? On XP, a long defrag might be an hour or so. I'm so frustrated.

When I click System Restore it takes nearly 40 seconds top open.
Sometimes longer than that. When my patients runs out and I clisk it again I get a message telling me it's already open. Where, I have no idea.

I'm running Vista on aHP laptop and it takes forever to boot up. I don't know of anything that is installed that would slow it down so much. I do have Nortons and a wireless mouse and keyboard. Can anyone tell me what to look for that might speed up the boot time? I know it's a lot slower that when I got the laptop a year ago.

so when I delete something it goes to the recycle bin. When I delete something from the recycle bin it is gone forever. -THINK AGAIN- I deleted somthing from the recycle bin and got it back a few days later...I also found a ton so stuff I was told was "deleted" forever by Windows. I brought it back (using some uber-simple free program) just to see it it was really there (not just a file name) I was able to open it and read it as well as continue to edit it... This is PROBLEMATIC; some of these files contain sensitive data such as SSNs', medical info, and other stuff that I had believed to be "deleted" and wasn't. Why is it still on there and how do I delete it FOREVER? (Without drilling holes in my HD) >>I'm packing a Dell XPS 1530 running a home edition of Microsoft Vista

I reboot the computer, boot from DVD.
I get the screen that says "Windows is loading files", and then I get the screen with the loading bar at the bottom (the one that looks a bit like the standard Windows XP loading bar) and then the screen goes black and nothing happens. I've tried leaving it for a good half hour, still to no avail.

I installed CoD 4 on steam on my Vista Ultimate 64 bit version and when I click to start the game, it says ""Preparing to launch Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare..." and it stays there FOREVER until I click "cancel."

Just for information, I have a Canon LiDE 50 scanner and it seems that Canon will not be making a Vista 64bit driver for it, as I'm presuming it's too old. Just tried to use the Vista 64bit driver for the Canon LiDE 60 scanner and that works perfectly.

I recently started supporting a remote site of 4 vista, 1 xp 2 mac users. They have a networked HPCP1515n printer. Original vista users are fine they can print to it but two new users to this printer cannot get vista to detect the printer. When I run the network install drivers they get the following: error 1327.Invalid Drive z:. I have tried the usb install but that fails similiarly too. Vista does not detect the printer but older users who were connected are fine. I have tried installing from local c: all fail. i have tried older versions of the driver all fail. The users have profiles set up to z: Attached is a screen shot of the error

I updated my driver for this printer in order to use it with a new VISTA computer. In doing this, my XP laptop, can no longer use this printer. Is there a simple solution to this?

I can plug my Canon camera into my two XP computers and the one at work, and they all instanly see the camera and the pictures.
Not my Vista-64. It never opens. Is there some trick in Vista-64 to see USB camera devices? It can instantly see all other USB devices, and I have many. It's only the camera that won't open.

I have a Canon 9950F Scanner that I used on another computer that had Windows XP operating system. I want to use this scanner on my new Dell XPS computer with Vista Premium Home Edition. I have talked to Canon and they downloaded the new Vista compatible software for installation of this scanner. However, when we try to install this software, the scanner is not recognized and does not show up as new hardware. I have a new all-in-one HP printer that also has a scanner. The printer works OK. Canon thinks there might be a conflict with the printer scanner and the Canon scanner causing
the non-recognition of the Canon scanner. Canon says they can do nothing for me and I will have to go to Dell to get them to see if there is a computer problem.

It worked extremely well in Windows XP Home. I emailed Canon and they said that right now there is no support for 64 bit Vista with the camera. However, I have 4 GB of RAM and 2GB of Turbo Memory and I wouldn't want it to go to waste.
Is there any way I can email Microsoft (without having to pay $35 dollars) to suggest support for these products or if I were to install Vista Ultimate 32bit, would I lose my ability to use 4GB of RAM and the 2GB of Turbo Memory? How about if I dual boot it, would there be any complications? Can I use the same CD KEY as neither OS would be on at the same time?

I hope to find a solution to this problem. I own a Vista Home Premium (32 bit) with SP1. I connected the Canon Vixia HF10 camcorder with USB to PC, turn on the camcorder in Play back mode, but Windows Vista remained silent - no detection of my camcorder. Sometime my Windows Vista just hung and FROZEN...I remove USB cable from Camcorder, Windows Vista is back to work normal. the Canon website and there it is -> the camcorder *IS* compatible with vista and doesn't need any driver. I called Canon technical Tech and he told me Yes, Canon Vixia HF10 is comptaible with Vista. I have also installed Windows XP SP3 on my laptop and tried on Windows XP, no problem there - the camcorder was detected immediately.

I have a Gateway GT5464 Desktop Computer with Window Vista (32bit) which Canon Inc. tells me should have PTP Picture Transfer Protocol installed.I have downloaded the latest and recommended software from Canon and still the computer ignores the camera.-----Is there something else that I am missing and where do I find the PTP Picture Transfer Protocol for Window Vista?

I have a Canon S3IS digital camera which can take movies. The movies show an .AVI extension and (I think) use an MJPEG codec. After transferring the movie files to my (Vista) hard drive, their behavior is erratic:
- The movie files *will not* play in Windows Media Player. The WMP error message is: "Windows Media Player encountered a problem while playing the file". Clicking on Web Help reveals: "You've encountered error message C00D11B1 while using Windows Media Player."
- The movie files *will not* play in Windows Media Center; WMC says "Cannot Play Video - Windows Media Center cannot open the file".
- If I import the files into Windows Movie Maker, WMM appears to play them, but the preview screen is black............

I have Window Vista Home Premium SP 1 64-bit operating system IE 7 I have a Canon Pixma MP500 that was purchased in 2006, and it will not download on my computer. I went to canon website and downloaded the driver and then put in the old CD and did what it said and it said something like this is not for 64-bit OS. Now I am not a computer wizard so I have a lot to learn.

According to Canon Tech Support--spoke to the manager -- no Canon Printer is compatible with XP Pro's and Vista Business's Remote Desktop. Since their printer drivers are made in Japan, the manager of inkjet support told me all he could do was forward my request to the highest level here in America with the suggestion of supporting the Remote desktop.
I even tried Black Ice's Print2XP (the cost is over $100 and no phone support) which is supposed to create a virtual printer days ago but cannot get it to work --their email tech support has not answered in 4 days.
Does anyone know a way to get my PC at work which uses Vista Business to list my Canon Printer so I am able to print documents that are on my work machine and on my Novell Network of which I am the Admin? My home machine has XP Pro. When I had the Epson 980 Printer, using Windows 2000 at home and XP Pro at work, the printer was recognized on my work PC and I had no problems printing.

Using vista business sp2.
Have had the printer for several years and it works flawlessly
3 days ago it suddenly refused to print When I look at the printer folder, it is default but it says it's offline I can't find out how to make it go online
From 'justanswer' I was told to do a restor, so I've tried going back a couple of restores, but they both failed, then had to undo the restores to get back to where I was
In safe mode I removed the printer then added it back by re-installing its software
sometimes vista asks me to say which port, but as it's usb plugnplay I dont know how to handle it I've tried resetting the printer from this website

Just discovered a new problem after installing SP1. I have a Canon i9950 inkjet printer. It's an A3 photo printer and has produced superb prints since I got my new PC with Vista 64 HP about 6 months ago. I went to make some prints yesterday and have wasted about 10 sheets of expensive photo paper. All my pics came out predominantly pink, very pink. Every time I switch the printer on Vista recognizes it as new hardware, searches for a driver and installs it. I don't seem able to get round this. I have about 5 different software apps to print from and tried them all-Photoshop, Lightroom, Canon DPP etc. All produce pink pics. Some, like Picasa report printer offline and won't print at all.

I'm running Vista 64 on an AMD 64 Platform. I have the above printer. When I download drivers from Canon's website they are only Intel compatible. Yes, I have looked and re-looked and I'm sure. Canon does not support AMD 64/ Vista 64 for their Drivers (yet). I have tried to go through Device Manager, and there is no printer listed. I have tried to Add Hardware and I get "Restart Printer Spooler". I re-start printer spooler. Still no go. This may seem like a basic question. The Vista Disc, when installed does not have a repair feature like the old XP. How can I get the default printer driver off the disk?

We print to a Canon iR C2620 installed on the network. Prior to VSP1 we had no problems. Now, we can still print but no matter what program we print from... it immediately stops responding and Vista closes the program (IE7, Mail, Office, etc). Tried reinstalling the printer drivers (the latest from canon for vista) with no luck. Have not tried to roll back the SP1 update.

I downloaded the full update from Microsoft this morning. Though I've been pretty good about installing hot patches and updates as they became available, the SP1 install took nearly an hour. The process was troublefree and completely automatic, but it involved several reboots and took quite awhile. Be sure to allocate sufficient time to install this update.

I'm kinda a great gamer and when i download demos to test incoming games, i try running their setup and it takes a lot of time to start. About 2-3 minutes of waiting before asking if i want to open the file because it was downloaded from the internet (just with the demos i downloaded from the net, sure), and another 2-3 minutes to ask for permission to open it (the account security control or something like that). Then the task appears in Task Manager under "process" tab but it has only 64 kb of ram and it remains that way for another 4-5 minutes. Finally it starts (after about 12-15 minutes total), it installs and here's another problem. When the progress bar arrives to the end, it takes about 10 minutes to tell me installation was completed (during these 10 minutes installation does not busy the cpu at all). This problem occures only with setups, but not only with game's setups, with program's setups too.
I know there's not such a big problem "at least they install", but it's kinda annoying waiting about 25-30 minutes total to play a damn demo or to install a program.Has anyone had that problem? How can i fix it? Here there are my specs (it's an HP laptop, 6730s):
Intel Core 2 Duo T5670 @ 1.80 ghz, 4 mb L2 Cache
2 GB Ram
Intel Mobile 4 Series 128 Mb own ram, 796 total
HDD 150 GB (about 42,8 free at this moment)
Antivirus: Kaspersky Internet Security 2009
Windows Vista Home Premium 32 Bit.

i read around various forums, tried some things and nothing helps. to help as much as possible the people that might help me, here's what i gather's relevant:..........

I am running vista ultimate and am having trouble when logging in. When I boot the system it boots fine to the login in screen. When I put my password in it takes 33 seconds sitting at Welcome to get to the desktop. When it does get to the desktop all is fine. It also does this if I log out and back in again (just the login part). If I lock the pc and then log back in it is straight in. Surley 33 seconds is too long.

Vista Ultimate x64, Vista Business x64, and Vista Home x64, all have this issue:
Diablo II takes literally 5 min to load. We thought that for certain that the game just wasn't going to work under Vista x64, and I was ready to give up on it... but then one of the machines just popped to life.
Since then, I've been running it by starting it... and then literally go for a soda or a beer in order to pass the 5 mins it takes for anything to happen.
I can see in the task manager that game.exe*32 is running... at 0% cpu... for a long, long time. No activity that is measurable by task manager. Then, eventually, the screen goes black and the intro begins running.
Once that happens, Diablo II appears to be fine (there are some issues with it failing to fully initialize or restore the graphics pallete when I alt-tab away, but that seems to self-fix when I alt-tab a second time).
