if u would like i could send u the driver and instructions to you in an email or if u like you can go to www.canon.com and go to drivers. if u have windows vista though u will have problems installing but all other windows will work
try re installing the drivers for this printer
check all cable connections once again.
did the printer work well at ur frens place?
and wat os did he use??
Your cd probably only holds drivers for win98 and XP, i think your printer is not compatable with Vista, as i am unable to find yoiyr model no. on the canon website for vista drivers.
Could be a partial block - print a block of color and look for blank spaces in it, if you get them, then you should unblock the nozzle and the print head. Clean them with hot distilled water, and to be on the safe side clean the contacts as well.
Good luck!
