    • Techstar says:
      December 13, 2022 at 3:24 am

      To fix this non-detecting issue, apply these steps:
      1) Connect the printer to the computer.
      2) Uninstall “USB printing support” from the device manager. Like this: https://oip.manual.canon/USRMA-0323-zz-SS-enUV/Inst_source/contents/05010000.html. Also uninstall the printer driver if installed.
      3) Disconnect the printer’s USB cable from the computer and reboot your computer.
      4) Now start installing the printer again and follow the on-screen instructions. Make sure the printer’s cable should not be connected until the printer-driver-installer asks you to connect it.
      5) Now the driver-installer will ask you to connect the printer, now connect the printer’s USB cable to the computer. Make sure to connect it to another USB port then the previous one and wait for it to detect the printer automatically. This should be detected this time.
      That’s it.
      Please let me know the results.

    What is this? I all I want is to move my Canon PIXMA MG2500 to my new HP tower using Windows 10. My install CD works but did not install the drivers, I built my old tower using Windows XP Pro (the best Windows ever) and forced to use this crappy Windows 10. Now Canon wants me to jump through hoops to install my printer on this 10 peace of crap. You are not helping me but driving me nuts. Your customer service is supposed to help not hinder and frustrate your clients. NOW HOW DO I MOVE MY PRINTER?

      Sorry for the inconvenience. First of all, I would like to inform you that we are not associated with Canon company anyhow. To get canon’s support, click here.
      We are an independent website that provides legacy drivers. However, I can help you install this MG2500 printer on your Windows 10 computer. I even made a video tutorial on that. Click here to go to the video tutorial.

    No, there’s no other printer installed in my laptop I’ve checked. And I’ve connected it properly, I’ve tested to print and it worked just fine. I’m saying my win 10 isn’t compatible bcs I’ve also checked the compatibility settings on it. The latest version of windows that’s compatible with it is win 8. Maybe our scanner problem is just different 🙁

      Your scanner may be having hardware issues. Try to copy a document from the printer itself. Once it’s done successfully, then the printer’s scanner is OK. If its not done successfully, then your scanner will have a hardware issue.

    I’ve got that icon after I installed the printer with the cd, but it didn’t work. it kept saying “cannot communicate with the scanner” even tho I can print finely with it. when I check the “compatibility”, it can only connect with win 95, win 98, win xp, win vista, win 7, and win 8. But mine is win 10 64 bit. that’s why I downloaded and installed the driver for win 10 64 bit. But it still doesn’t work 🙁

          It is fully compatible with Windows 10. I am even using this printer on my Windows 10 computer, so there is no problem using it. Please see this: https://imgur.com/bood2Pw
          Did you get an error that stated: “Cannot communicate with the scanner”?
          Make sure your printer is connected properly and it should be turned ON. If you are still getting the same error, then there must be another printer installed on your computer that is causing conflicts with this Epson L360 printer. In this case, we suggest you to uninstall all the other printers from your computer, Epson L360 scanner will start working. I have shared this with you because I was facing the same issue earlier personally.

I’ve tried to download the driver and install it but it still doesn’t work. do you know how to make it work? maybe I’m the one who don’t do it right, so do you have any guide for this problem?
