I can't seem to get my Canon MP780 to install correctly on Windows 7 x64. I've tried running the installer as Admin, without UAC, and in compatibility mode.
Any ideas how to manually install the driver as I extracted the driver files but don't know how to apply them.
Just after some help with the MP780 on 7 x64. The printer is plugged in via USB to another machine on the network. On the 7 machine I am running through the add printer wizard, which finds the printer and looks for drivers.
The first problem is that it can't find the MP780 drivers on Windows Update, which I think it should.
After it fails there, it asks to find the inf manually. I have downloaded the drivers from the Canon Australia website but that's just an installer. I have also downloaded drivers from other random driver sites but it just gives me fax and scan infs, nothing else.
I have a dell studio with windows 7 64bit, it recognizes my canon pixma mp780 on the wireless network but says to install drivers even though they are already installed.It say- File needed: Printer driver INF for Canon series MP780
My Canon Multipass SmartBase MPC200 printer was bought when i had windows xp on my old computer. I have just bought a new laptop that has wimdows 7 installed. I need a driver to re-install it
I bought a MG5450 2 days ago and began setting it up yesterday however stumbled across an issue where the printer driver would not install regardless of the compatibility setting. Being as it's a newly released printer I thought the drivers would be up to date and new, however I think there may be a issue with NT 4.0 driver policy as when I try to install the drivers through the device manager, it gives me that message that there's a policy in place stopping me.
Windows update always fails when trying to install the printer, however the scanner, and software included all work fine. I can scan images on wirelessly and have them saved on my computer without an issue, however there is no way to print. I have tried disabling the policing through the 'MSC' and adding a local group policy or something along those lines. However none of this has worked. How can I get the driver to install or disable the policy to allow the printer to be installed. Tried installation of the drivers both through wireless and wired, both come to the same outcome.
I just wanted to relate my vexing problem and the ultimate solution which I dscovered after half a day, and it's something that Microsoft will probably never admit happens.I installed Windows 7 64 bit OS on my Toshiba Satellite, and could not get my Pixma iP3000 installed. I first tried the disc that came with, but I got messages to the effect that this will not work with my current sysytem. I looked all over the world at Canon download sites and could fine everything BUT the Windows 7 64 bit driver.Everywhere else I got the same tip: Just plug in your printer fresh into a recently re-started computer, and the system should recognize it and install the driver. Well, it attempted to do this the first time, but it notified me that it did not have the driver!Following another tip, I prompted Windows update to have a go. Surprise, it discovered some new updates to install. Lo and Behold, one of them was a Pixma iP3000 driver update! but DAMN, that one update failed to install, and after failing a retry it just would NOT attempt it again. The message was something to the effect of, "We decided you don't need that."The solution: I started from scratch. I re-installed Windows 7 64 bit after deleting the partition. I ran the first run of Windows update. Before installing anything else, I turned on and connected my printer. Again, it said, "Yes, we see this is a Pixma iP3000, but we don't have the driver." Then, keeping the device connected, I did Windows Update again, and several updates, including the Pixma iP3000 driver update, appeared. It installed correctly this time.
Both the Windows Compatibility and Canon Compatibility sites state the Rebel XT is compatible with Windows 7. That is, no drivers need be downloaded.
The EOS utility which is used to establish communications between the Rebel XT and Windows 7 is only good for Vista and previous Windows operating systems (I tried it anyway with no luck, then removed it and conducted a shutdown - not a restart - to remove any traces).
When I plug the camera into the USB port the following appears: "Device detected, installing drivers" followed by "Device drivers not successfully installed". The Windows 7 troubleshooting utility comes up with "No drivers found".
On the other hand, my Canon Powershot SD950 IS was simply plug and play like the Rebel XT is supposed to be.
I have a canon printer (couple years old) and a Brothers printers connected to a computer with Vista 32bit. I just purchased a laptop that has windows 7 64bit. I can connect via wireless network to my Vista computer just fine. I was able to connect to and install the brother printer but when I try to install the canon printer I get a message something like this "Cant find INI file, will look in windows update" after a while it comes back and says It can find INI file. Probably it is because my Vista is 32 bit and my laptop Windows 7 64bit. But I did not have this problem with my brother printer. How do I install the canon printer?
I am having difficulty in installing the drivers for a Canon 8400F scanner on a Windows 7 64 bit laptop.I've downloaded the correct drivers from the Canon website, and installed themThey firstly unzip, then they seem to install but I don't get any message that the installation has completed.When I check Device Manager the scanner is not listed (and thus the drivers have not installed).
My Canon LiDE 600F scanner is failing to install on Windows 7 (64bit) (version 6.1 build 7600).
This scanner works fine on WindowsXP, however.
I spoke Canon about this and they obviously get this complaint all the time and they say that their drivers (which they have failed to up date ) work "just fine" and that it is a problem with Windows 7 itself and that I need to speak to Microsoft (!)
Just bought a new computer with windows 7, can't get Canon multipass F50 driver to download. Apparently there is an incompatability issue between the two...Who's at fault here and what can I do about it? I need the printer and can't afford a new one and I've given away the old computer. Help!
Does Canon need to update their drivers or can Windows 7 OS come to my rescue?
My problem is i just bought a brand new computer HP Pavillion running Windows 7 Home Premium edition, and I am having trouble installing my Canon laser Printer LBP 3000.
I have downloaded it but when I try to install it i get the following error message:
<"Cannot correctly run this installer on this operating system, Use an installer compatible with this system"> I have tried with the windows compatibility program, still no success.
