Thought I would have to buy a new printer
« on: Saturday 10 October 15 12:30 BST (UK) »
May be of interest. I just bought new pc OS Windows 10. My Canon MP Pixma150 would not install. I googled problem and found other people having same problem One person said they had downloaded driver for Windows 7 and printer now works. Same reported by other readers.I gave it a try and am pleased to say my printer now works. Thought this may help someone having same problem.

Anyone having this problem with W10/Canon, Google 'Canon latest drivers for Windows 10' and the Canon site will give a list of the latest Drivers compatible with W10, otherwise, will advise to download the Driver for W8. My old nearly clapped 520 does NOT have a compatible Driver available so I bought a new printer. The new one prints everything OK except will only print the top half of an e-mail. I contacted Microsoft and they showed me a way to do it. Use Windows Live Mail for e-mails you want to print. BT is not compatible with W10 (yet BT tell me).

Re my first post. After installing driver for Windows 7 I booted pc up and was asked to insert disc I have for my Canon MP Pixma 150.This I did.  I had to select advanced install. This I did I unchecked driver. Success. Now I have full installation for my Canon MP Pixma 150 with short cuts on desktop.
