To install a Road Warrior scanner, do I need to totally uninstall my current all in one printer, scanner, copier?

Follow these steps:
1. Unplug the printer.
2. Uninstall the driver.
3. Re-boot your computer.
4. Then reinstall (from the CD if you still have it)
5. Follow install instructions with printer.
6. Test the printer/scanner/etc.
7. If this doesn't work... go to canon's website and download the most current driver for the printer. then redo these steps using the downloaded driver for step 4.

If this doesn't work, return the printer if you still can.

You can download updated drivers for your printer and operating sysytem from this site:

You should uninstall your current driver befor installing the new driver.

Yes, the scanner program is telling you the next step and that is to uninstall the software and the device and to reinstall it by using the installation CD.

Your machine is compatible with Windows Vista. Uninstall whatever drivers you currently have installed, then download and install the drivers from this link. Be sure and also install the MP Navigator (listed under Software), which provides the scanner interface program.

When you install the printer software is it installed properly? if the printer is installed properly then you will do need to do the same step. First, uninstall the printer software by going to control panel > add/remove programs and then uninstall all the printer software. then go to control panel > printer and faxes if printer is present in the printer and faxes delete the printer. Restart the computer. Before reinstalling the printer software turn off your firewall, anti-virus, spyware if you have any. Then reinstall the printer. Try to scan again. if it works then try to restart your computer and scan again. it should work

hi
i had the exact same problem and i installed and un-installed
over and over again

and then it hit me !!!

why bother ??? , just download a 3rd party scanning software like "VueScan" or any other you find on google and it does the job !!
it's light, recognize the scanner (C4280) automatically and scan !!

cheers

change the usb cable of printer & try install your printer software
