Do I Need to Install the Canon MP610 Printer Application Software?
I'll be helping a neighbor set up a new Dell with Vista Home Premium. She bought a Canon all-in-one MP610 printer with lots of application software on the CD - MP Navigator, Easy-PhotoPrint, ScanSoft OmniPage SE, Easy-WebPrint, and ArcSoft PhotoStudio. I know i need to install the OCR software, but wonder about the rest. Do I need the MP Navigator for this printer to work? Will the Navigator or PhotoPrint software hijack any settings? Also, when I checked online, I found a new driver for Easy-PhotoPrint that's dated 10/08. If I install that driver after a full CD install for the printer, do I need to uninstall the older PhotoPrint utility first?
I found general applications info on Canon's site. If there is a better source that can help me decide whether these utilities are needed, please provide the link. Thanks for your help. Jim |

You (or rather the neighbor) won't need any of these for general use. I do
use Easy PhotoPrint and sometimes PhotoStudio but I don't have any of the others installed. I scan direct to Adobe Acrobat if I need PDF/OCR. Since I don't have any all in ones, I don't know about the Navigator, but s/he should try for a couple of days and see if they are needed, they can easily be installed at a later date. -- Cari (MS-MVP) Printing & Imaging www.coribright.com/windows "Jim K" wrote in message ...

The 610 may need to be installed as a network as well as a local (USB) device. This allows a directly connected P/C to have full access to all the features, and use third party scanner software. The network connection can be also used by the P/C connected via usb, and other networked P/Cs as well. In some instances, you can change the port of the "USB" installed device to a network port, and use third party software as if the device is connected directly. ViewScan is one of the third party scanner applications that I prefer to use. |
