Cannon printer driver

[MountainMan]

I have a Cannon ip 4200 printer. Just upgraded to W-7 64 bit Home. Computer won't recognize it. Any detailed help would be greatly received. I say that because I'm 74 young

Thanks MM

Go to the Canon website and download the latest driver:

Photo Inkjet Printers - Photo Inkjet Printers - PIXMA Pro Professional Inkjet Printers - PIXMA Corporate and Graphic Arts Printers - Photo Fun Projects - Photo Printer - PIXMA iP4200 - Canon USA Consumer Products

You indeed should just need the drivers from Canon's website.

If things specific to Windows 7 are missing, the ones for Vista x64 should normally work too.

You realize, of course, that's the same link I posted?

Canon offers a printer driver ADD ON! First step is to install printer driver via Windows Update!

Having the same problem, but with the IP4000. Driver disc won't work b/c an error comes up about it supporting only 32-bit, not 64.

SillyMan, how do you install the printer driver via Windows Update? I don't see where this is possible. Sorry, I just got a new computer with W7 a few days ago and I'm not fully familiar with it. Thanks!

Thank you all for the help. I am now using my favorite keyboard. You sure made it easy for this old mountain man

I hope you have better luck with your printer driver. I have a little old BJC-4000, bought it in 1994 and it still works great until Windows 7. After numerous hours of searching for drivers I contacted and actually spoke with a tech from Cannon. Cannon is not providing updated drivers for some of there really old printers, like my BJC-4000.

I have the ip4000

I downloaded the Win7 drivers from Canon and installed them before I first plugged the printer in.

As soon as I plugged it in it searched for the Canon drivers, found them, and all is working OK.

Same thing with my Lide 60 scanner.

I think you must install the drivers before plugging in the device otherwise you will need to remove the device (device manager) and get it to rescan for drivers.

Welcome to Seven forums MountianMan So this is a printer not being reconized problem correct? Is it connected Via USB? Seems the above poster has offered a posible solution. Some printers actually require you to start the installation then when prompted a window will appear and tell you to now connect the printer. i say give it a shot then post back. Hardware not reconized can be a tricky one to figure out. Best of luck with it. Thanks. Fabe

Just read this do you still need help with your printer? I'm glad to hear your keyboard is working, but this is about your printer right? Please post back. Thank You. Fabe
