('8220 Canon USA') with respect to the new or refurbished Canon-brand product ('Product') packaged with this limited warranty, when purchased and used in the United States only. The limited warranty set forth below is given by Canon U.S.A., Inc. Many thanks to TerryNet and JohnWill.Limited Warranty & InstantExchange Program DetailsĬanon U.S.A., Inc. Hopefully this will help someone else so they don't have to go through all the iterations that I tried. When offered, indicate that you want a test print. I chose the closest match and will update the driver later.Ħ. After an interminable wait the list of models was updated. My particular model wasn't shown so I clicked on Windows Update. Select your printer manufacturer and printer model from the list. The list looks just like the Windows Add Hardware Dialog. Windows will show a list of printer vendors and models. Printer Name - is MP530 or OffcPrnt, etc.

Host name - is the name of the desktop eg User-judf5564 or Home etc. Windows displays a small dialogue box asking a port name. Select Create a New Port and leave the default in the drop down selection as Local Port. (Yes Local, NOT Network.) Uncheck the box marked :Automatically detect my PnP printer. On the laptop, select: Control Panel/ Printers /Add PrinterĢ. It's counter-intuitive, but of course this is Windows.ġ. Anti-Virus off on both machines - no differenceĪlthough both PCs are running XP Pro, I used a technique that Vista folks have been using. Windows Firewall off on both machines - no difference Deleting and re-entering the share doesn't help. Here are some of the things that I have already tried: The Printer Properties PORTS tab shows Canon MP530 on Port USB001, described as 'Virtual printer port for USB.' If I click on Configure Port, I get 'An error occurred during port configuration. In that case I get 'The handle is invalid.'Ī test print using the Printers and Faxes folder yields 'Test page failed to print.'

Here's what happens when I try to print from WordPad: I get the Print dialog box showing the Canon MP530. The Network Magic troubleshooter reports that 'This printer is available for printing from this computer.' The Canon printer is shown as shared on the Laptop. My laptop, also XP Pro, connects wirelessly to a 2Wire modem. The printer is set to share, which is confirmed by Network Magic.

My Canon MP530 is connected via USB to a desktop PC running XP Pro. Yes, another user that can't print wirelessly!
