Pixma IP4200 driver probs?

Neilyb · 11th of December 2005 (Sun)

Hi,

Just purchased the above printer for the Girlfriend as she has million of pictures but never prints them. First impressions are that the prints are the best I have seen from an inkjet BUT I am not impressed with the time it takes to get the print to the printer or the fact that prints never arrive....until I restart the computer, then they pop out when windows restarts.

I have tried both USB 1 port and USB 2 ports and the drivers are upto date!

To start with I was getting a Spooler Subsystem error message, so I re-installed SP2 (XP home)....now I get to print off a couple of images and then on the third nothing happens, I can't open the printer properties becasue of some error and I can't re-send the print as I am told there is no printer installed....

I have looked for an updated driver or fix ut there is not one on Canons site. I have mailed Canon support but wondered if anyone else has had thisprobelm?

Shame, as the prints come out looking stunning!

Hi.

i have just got myself a iP6600D. The prints are absolutely stunning and definitely do a better job than the local photo lab. However, i have a problem that i am not able to install the printer on my iBook G4 with Mac OS X 10.4.3. I am limited to printing images from the memory card as i can insert that in the built-in card reader on the printer.

Will appreciate if someone can guide me if they have faced similar installation problems on a mac. I am not able to get the printer in the "Add Printer" command in the "Printer Setup Utility" even after i have installed the drivers from the packaged CD and then re-installed the latest drivers from the Canon website.

Kind Regards
Sid

I have not had this problem with my 4200. It is also worth noting that I found Canon's tech support extremely responsive in answering the question I had for them.
