    Canon 920 Printer won't work from computer after windows update. Works fine on its own


    I have a Canon 920 printer. It scans and prints correctly from the scanner. It will print out a test page correctly from its menu on the machine. However it will not print out a test page correctly from the printer menu on the computer. It just prints out the header. It will not print out a complete page of anything from the computer. It eliminates mainly text and subject matter. If I try just printing in black, it wont' print anything at all. I've downloaded new drivers, replaced ink. cleaned print heads, etc. I've run out of ideas. This happened after the last Windows update.

    :)

  2. Printer isn´t working after latest update.

    After the latest update from Windows, my Canon Pixma ip6600 printer isnt working. In Device Manager it shows up as working properly but when I go to print it isn´t listed as an option in any programs. Troubleshoot suggests it´s a USB 2 printer on a USB
    3 port and that that´s the problem but that cant be since it worked fine before the update. I´ve tried to uninstall and plug it back in but that doesn´t work either.

  3. Win 10 keeps changing the default printer using Remote Desktop


    I have 2 Win 10 computers and an XP computer in my home network. I have 2 printers connected to the XP computer. I mostly use the XP computer with Remote Desktop to control a Win 10 computer. The printers work fine in all situations except Remote Desktop with the XP computer connecting to the Win 10 computer.

    Every time I print in this situation, I see that my default printer is my Canon 410, instead of my Canon 920. If I select Canon 920 as the default printer then it all works fine until the next day when I reboot all the computers.

    I wonder if I should uninstall all printers and install the 920 first. The 410 was
    bought first so it was installed first. I also tried changing the name of the 920 to "a Canon 920" in case it was an alphabetical order thing, but that didn't help.

    I've tried a lot of things it seems, like trying different settings on the Win 10 "let Win 10 set the default printer". I've been running this setup for over a year and it seems like in the past it was working ok, so I assume some Win 10 update changed it.

    Any suggestions?

  4. Canon 920 Printer won't work from computer after windows update. Works fine on its own

    Canon - Printers - Canon MG5500 series Printer - Error 0x80240017

    GaryRouth's suggestion didn't work for me. But I took his lead and used a slightly different process that eventually worked.

    I uninstalled the Canon software in "Programs and Features",

    rebooted my machine,

    then went to Canon's site and downloaded the full package from Canon for my printer,

    extracted the package,

    went to the extracted files and opened the DrvSetup folder,

    ran the DELDRV64.exe utility to cleanup the old software,

    then ran the Setup64.exe to install the Canon software.

    Since I've followed these steps, the printer works and the Windows Update for the printer isn't showing up.
