Hi debdedoos, congratulations on your upcoming 3rd year anniversary in being a SevenForums Member!

After some research this may be a permissions error, it will take some doing on your part, but I will try to lay it out as painlessly as possible.

You will need to open the Registry editor, the beginning of this tutorial will show how: Registry Editor - Find and Find Next . Once open you may want to backup your Registry before proceeding. Registry - Backup and Restore

Then navigate to - HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows - or you can use the Registry Editor - Find and Find Next Tool. Copy/paste the above key into the Find Box that opens.

   Note

Please verify that, that is the key. You should see your Canon MX526 listed similarly to what my Canon MG3200 series shows.

Right click on Windows in the left pane, move your cursor down to Permissions and left click on it. You may probably see, Registered with only Read Permissions checked:


, But you should see Full control, and Read permissions checked when you try any of the other groups or users


I will stop at this point to wait to hear from you as to what you permissions are before we proceed any further.

Just a thought.
debdedoos you have posted that you have removed the old printer but it appears that you haven't removed the old printer program. If you remove the old printer programs then the choice of using the old printer will not be there.

Hi Anak, Thanks for your help, I will let you know what administrator rights are there when I can get back to the computer.

Hi Anak,I have checked and I have full access permission, I have also removed all of the other printer drivers and package through printui. I created a new user and the printer showed up as the default printer and I was able to print, but you still can't make it the default printer or print when logged on as administrator. It is getting quite frustrating, when you look in the printer properties it says it is working properly and will print a test page but when you try and print a document, it say's there is no printer installed.
