Windows 10: If you can't install your Canon IP4900 IP4950 on Windows 10 or 7 etc, try this

When running Canon's installation or driver software on disc or downloaded If the printer dialogue box says either that the printer is supposedly detected and you can see for yourself that it may be erroneously detected even when you plug a memory stick into the port or even not detected during the Canon driver installation, and then of course in either case the installation fails, just go to your computer's Windows Device Manager and choose SOFTWARE DEVICES. If you see the printer listed there, just uninstall it by right-clicking UNINSTALL. I didn't reboot, but you can if you want to. The

Installing Windows 10 using Windows 7 key

Nope, you need to install Windows 10 first and make sure the Windows 7 key is transferred to your Windows account after you've installed Windows 10 (not quite sure how that works). I missed the last step and I could not activate Windows 10 after a re-install... Microsoft seem to have done everything they can to make it a PITA. Also, it's technically too late to do this now anyhow, as the upgrade offer has expired. But KMSPico works quite well...

As for getting rid of Windows, delete the Windows folder.

 

Canon PIXMA MX472 All-in-One - Scanner did not install

Like the previous poster suggested, unplug the USB cable from the printer and turn off the printer.
Start the installation of the drivers, watch the install windows VERY CAREFULLY as there will be instructions as to when you need to plug the USB cable into the printer and turn the printer on.
I ran into this exact scenario when I installed my printer after a Windows 10 Pro install (1909).
The printer ran fine but when I tried to use the scanner, no dice...
Printer is Canon MG6820.

The only other thing I can suggest if that doesn't work is to turn your firewall off, turn off any anti-virus software, and then do the driver installation again following the install windows VERY CAREFULLY.
I had to do that step on a Windows 7 Pro PC in order for the scanner to work.

EDIT: Follow this link to see where I asked for help: Solved: MG6820 can't scan from the Operation Panel... - Canon Community


Good Luck.
