    Print Driver disappearing


    I am running the latest Windows 10 version. On several ocassions, I have had to uninstall/reinstall the canon pixma drivers because the printer won't print. I don't know what else could be causing this unless Windows is doing something to the print driver.

    This is a pixma 432 and it was put in service in 2012. Could it be the driver is so old, it is no longer compatible with the latest Windows 10 versions? I have the latest one available from Canon for this printer.

    :)

  2. Documents Disappear in Print Spooler before printing

    Hi David,

    There are different factors that can contribute as to why you're not able to print documents on a wireless printer that other computer can use to print. This could be caused by outdated device drivers or the
    print spooler that temporarily stores print jobs on the computer needs to be reset

    Since you are still not able to print documents after you completing different troubleshooting steps, we suggest that you follow the steps to

    clear and reset the print spooler
    to resolve your concern. This will allow you to restart the
    print spooler service that manages the printing process in your computer.

    We look forward to your response after you complete the steps.
