What shall I do to install printer?

What type of printer port do I use to install my Canon Multipass Pixma 130 printer?

  • I have had this printer for a year and it is brand new. I have yet to get it to work as it is either not communicating with the computer or something. I have the proper drivers, but I can't figure out whether to use LPT, COM or USB. There is also a virtual USB somewhere. PLEASE HELP! I am going crazy trying to figure this out. The machine (printer) does'nt respond when booting and has a stop/reset button that's rather large and then again an On off button. I've tried unplugging the USB cord as well as the power cord in many different ways...still nothing. When it does respond to the computer, I always get the same message that printer cannot communicate with computer, even when "use printer online" is selected. What's up with this. I'll never buy another Canon printer again althought they make excellent cameras!

  • Answer:

    USB2 PORT IS THE BEST. SOME OLD COMPUTERS STILL HAVE A USB1 PORT BUT CAN BE UPDATED VIA INTERNET TO A USB2 PORT. I HAVE GOT A USB2 PORT CONNECTED TO MY CANON MP150 PIXMA PRINTER AND IT WORKS 100%
