Can not install Canon MP210
I just puchased a new Gateway computer and printer package. The Gateway is a FX7020 and the printer is a Canon MP210. The OS is Vista Home Premium. I followed the installation instructions to the letter, but the printer software never recognizes the printer and as a result does not complete the installation. I have rebooted as directed, but the problem persists. Here is the history: Prior to installing this new Canon MP210 printer I already had a Canon IP4200. This printer also had problems installing, but I was able to manually configure the printer by going to "Add New Hardware" in the Control Panel, select printers and then select the Canon ip4200 in the list. I configured it for port USB2* that was on the screen. For whatever reason, each time I restarted the computer the "New Hardware" dialog box came up and for many days I would just close and go on. I did not have any printing problems and things seems to work OK. This morning I select "Don't ask me again" on the "New Hardware" dialog and could not print any longer. So I uninstalled the Canon ip4200 and started over, but this time the USB2* port was not available in the list of ports for the printer in the manual Add Hardware dialog boxes. At this point, I was tired of fooling with the Canon ip4200 and since I had new Canon MP210, I decided to install it and move on... So now you know the full story... I follow the instructions precisely and the drivers will not install. I look in the Add Hardware configuration dialog box and the USB port does not show up. I am guessing that by telling the "New Hardware" box to quit prompting me about the ip4200, it has disabled the USB ports or something. Can anyone help? Thanks, Jeff -- jwskms |

Go into Device Manager, uninstall the USB Controllers and reboot the PC.
Vista should reinstall the USB ports automatically. You shouldn't use Add New Hardware for a printer, you should use the Canon software packages. They work fine. I have the following Canon printers all installed on Vista PCs.... i950, ip4200, ip4300, ip6600 and ip6700. -- Cari (MS-MVP) Printing & Imaging www.coribright.com/windows "jwskms" wrote in message ...

I had the same issue. Google this KB940199 and then download that fix from Microsoft and it should resolve the issue. cheers -- Impuer Posted via http://www.vistaheads.com |
