Problem with Canon Pixma ip4950
I have had a Canon Pixma ip4950 inkjet printer for some time, but it has
recently been acting up. When I send the first print instruction on a particular day the printer clunks and rattles as it starts up, but then fails to print, and shows "printer busy", even when it isn't. To get it to work I have to unplug the USB lead from the printer and then plug it back in. It then works OK for the rest of the day. Please note that I shut down my PC at night, but I always make sure that the printer is turned off via the front corner switch with the green pilot light off, before I turn the mains power off. This odd behaviour didn't occur when I first got it - has something failed or is it something I have done? Brian |

Windows 7 x64 self built, although the problem started when I was still using Windows 7 x32. |

The printer may have a problematic USB interface. -- Dave Multi-AV Scanning Tool - http://multi-av.thespykiller.co.uk http://www.pctipp.ch/downloads/dl/35905.asp |
