Hello!
I have been having problems with this single printer. It's a Canon ip1600 photo printer. I am trying to install it on a Dell Dimension 8400 computer and it's not working lol.
Well I have tried to install the drivers countless times and have failed. What I don't get is why it wont read the drivers from the CD that came with the printer or when I copy those files to the harddrive.
The printer comes up as "Other Devices" in the Device Manager but when I go to update the drivers I point it to the CD (or the C: where the files are copied as well) and it tells me everytime that the Necessary Software cannot be found. But this is the CD that came with the printer.
I thought this was the printer then and it just was acting up. Well I brought the printer to another workstation at our company and installed the drivers exactly like I would on the dell. Everything worked fine like a normal install of a printer would, but then taking it back over to the dell desktop did not change what was happening in the first place.
Neither my boss (Head computer Tech Analyst) or I can figure out what is going on and I was wondering if we were just missing something obvious or what. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
