Question

Help, I just reformatted my computer and now I can't print?


My computer initially was using Windows XP when it suddenly blanked out.Before this my computer did not have Microsoft Office 7 so I was using Office Writer.

Then it blanked out one day so I sent it to the computer technician to reformat it to Windows 7,with features like Microsoft 2007 and now my printer is not printing my documents 100 % like it used to, all the files are compressed into 25% of the page.

I just called my technician and he said that my printer driver does not support Windows 7, so that is why it is not printing properly. My printer is a Canon PIXMA iP 6000D.

He recommended that I reformat my PC back again to Windows 7 so that I can print normally again.
I did not want to reformat my computer again when I had just reformat it a week ago so I told him I will call him again.
I went online to Canon.com but I can't find a Printer driver that supports Windows 7.

What should I do?
I need my printer to print documents urgently.

Answer 1

try having windows search for the driver...........

Answer 2

I answered this question in your other posting for it, but try this website. I found it using a Google search:

You should be able to find a driver to operate your printer. The Canon PIXMA iP 6000D should be supportable in Windows 7.

Answer 3

Try going to your printers manufacturer's website and see if they offer a driver download for windows 7. You will need to know the model of your printer. If they do not support it you may have to purchase a new printer.



I too upgraded to windows 7 and luckily I had two scanners because one of them is not supported in Windows 7.



Hopefully they will have a driver that will work.

Drivers and Software > Choose Operating System and download :)

Answer 5

The technician to my understanding is wrong as I found support for windows 7 on the actual cannon website.

That is the website where I have actually seen it on, just select your own and download the software and driver which they provide.

Answer 6

try having windows search for the driver. most drivers supported by previous windows programs are available for use in 7.

Answer 7

There are embedded systems (sp1). Read up about it and see if this won't work for you.



If it's urgent, do it at the library. or put the files on a flash drive or disc and take it to Walgreens, Walmart or Staples, etc. to print.
