Supposed to be Win 8 compatible and it did the same thing so here I sit thinking it could be an issue with Windows itself. The thing is, I bought an HP all in one printer before this one that was 24 Windows 10, Windows 10 64-bit, Windows 8.1, Windows 8.1 64-bit, Windows 8, Windows 8 64-bit, Windows 7, Windows 7 64-bit. I'm pretty good with computers but stumped on this one. I checked my firewall settings, and even tried installing while in clean boot. I reboot again and the driver is gone yet again. Right-click on the driver (Downloaded from the manufacturer’s website) file. I would suggest you to uninstall all the printer related driver software and download the Windows 7 driver from this link and install it in compatibility mode. I want to try the scanner and it's like it's not there. This issue can be caused if the driver is not compatible with Windows 8 computer. I reboot, and low and behold the driver appears to have installed, so I print a test page and it works. I uninstalled and tried again, checking device manager as well and still the driver isn't found. It says please wait, and also says it detects it, but then stops just like it did when I tried to install from the software cd. I downloaded directlyįrom there, ran the install and it goes fine until the 3rd step which is when I plug the printer into the computer and turn it on. I went to Canon's web site and they do list the driver for Win 8, 64 bit.

Attempted to install the software for my brand new printer on my new computer today, and I keep getting error messages that the printer driver file can't be found.
