Delete cannon printer


I have a cannon ip2600 printer.It has worked for about 6 months and now
I can't print. I have canceled all documents and tried to delete drivers
so I can reinstall but vista won't let me. I get a message- Unable to
remove ip2600 series x86,type3-user mode driver. The specified printer
driver is currently in use. Thanks, Keith

Re: Delete cannon printer

Just unplug it and uninstall any associated software.

Re: Delete cannon printer


Maybe I'm going about this all wrong. I was told by cannon that I need
to delete the printer so I can reinstall the installation disk. I went
through the control panel but when I hit delete nothing happans. Some
times the icon will just spin and then I get a message that the program
is not responding. Cannon tried to talk me through it but it would not
delete. They blamed it on Acer and when I called Acer tech support they
blamed cannon.Acer said all they could do is restore factory settings.
Both printer and computer are about 6 months old.

Re: Delete cannon printer

By the way it's Canon and you can't delete anything in the program list you
can only uninstall or change things.
