    Problem in installing Canon PIXMA MX432 printer on Windows 10

    Original title: Printer Icons in control panel

    My Canon PIXMA MX432 printer quit printing, one solution was to delete the printer in the control panel and reinstall. I clicked remove all the printer icons from the control panel and attempted to reinstall the printer, however NOTHING works. I have the
    printer rehooked to my wireless network, but my laptop no longer has icons for a printer in the control panel, the install a new printer does not work as the laptop does not recognize the printer and I don't know what to do. I did download new drivers from
    Canon for the printer, thinking that would readd it, but it didn't. I am not real savvy about all this, so please be simple with a solution. Thanks!

    How to Remove Control Panel Icons no longer used?

    Hello Corey,

    Have you already tried uninstalling them from Programs and Features?

    If so, then you can use the same method below to hide any Control Panel icon you don't want to show. *Smile

    Hi there

    I think the control panel items are xxxxx.cpl files - search on those and delete the offending items.

    Cheers
