Vista - Printer communication problem in x64 resolved

**adg** · 01-27-2009

Hi:
Just a quick post to report that after three days of trying to get my Canon i9100 to communicate with any program whatsoever, I discovered the USB Filter loaded when I set up my ATI drivers was the culprit -- uninstalling the USB filter has left me a happy camper, with a fully functional printer.
Just wish someone else had discovered this ahead of me (or reported it) so a quick search (lazy me) would have brought the solution to me

If you would, please let me the step by instructions for this resolution. It
may apply to my "printer won't stay installed" post.

thx

Hi:
I opened Control Panel > Uninstall Programs > Chose the ATI Catalyst entry
Then, when it opened, I chose Uninstall, Custom and then chose USB Filter.
Once that was uninstalled, my printer again worked.
Did this in both an old installation of x64 and a clean install on a new drive and it worked both times.
Hope this helps
