Hi gb,
Interesting scenario; looks like a phone call and lots of oh-hold time
coming up! Aint' progress just great? <g>
One thing I didn't notice anywhere in the list here, but which is so
basic I'd think it must have been checked, but what about the
possibility that there is either a bad cable or something on the printer
that tells it to use COM or ethernet or USB or ... whatever?
Just thought; I've been stumped by simpler things before.
Apparently the printer "thinks" it printed? That to me says
something in the communications area at least, not the innards so mcuh.
Cabling, interfaces, special USB cable, whatever?
This is all WAG, but: Have you tried to see if it'll print from a COM
port? If it works that way, maybe there's a CMOS chip lockup inside,
that might free it.
Just WAGs; nothing of any real help here I know, but figured it couldn't
hurt...I "lucked out" and had an HP sent to me once that they had left a
"test" jumper inside it. Apparently they didn't actually put paper in
them for their tests or they'd have HAD to known it wasn't printing.
I'd think. YUK! Anyway ...
Regards,
Twayne
We have the Canon D880 printers connected by USB to our computers. We
have recently updated the PCs and when trying to install the old
Canon D880 printers it is not working properly. They are on the XP
operating systems and when doing the install it does seem as if it
does work and says that the installation is complete. However when
printing a test page or anything from the PC it does not work. I have
been through all the whistles with Canon themselves and they are now
saying that it is a Microsoft Windows issue. Does anyone have any
suggestions on how to get these printers to work? Here is a copy of a
few of the steps we have tried thus far on Canon's side, even though
I am not giving up on them yet either. I was just hoping someone
would be able to help out.

I went through these processes and at Step 5 where you install the
printer again, it does come up as the printer has installed
correctly, but it never prompts for you to plug in the USB cable.
When I do plug in the USB cable it made a copy of the printer under
the "printers and faxes" folder. I did try to print a test page from
both while in Selective Startup Mode and both attempts were
unsuccessful.

Dear Gabi Birnie:
Thank you for your reply and information.
Let's try the following to rectify the issue:
1. Uninstall the driver using the 'uninstall' option of the Canon
unit listing under 'All Programs'.
2. Once uninstalled, go into the Device Manager. If still listed,
delete 'Canon iCD800' with the yellow question mark and 'USB Printing
Support'.
3. Follow by disconnecting the USB Cable and placing the computer in
a Selective Startup mode as previously outlined.
4. As the computer is restarting, disconnect the power cord from the
D880 for 30-60 seconds. Plug the power for the unit in again and
ensure a normal display is seen in the LCD. Do not connect the USB
cable.
5. Proceed to perform the installation of the driver and only connect
the USB cable when prompted by the software.
6. Try a test print while in the Selective Startup mode.
7. If successful, repeat steps 1 and 2 in the previous Selective
Startup instructions, click Normal Startup and then restart your
computer.
8. Try another test print once the computer has returned to the
Normal Mode.
Should you be unsuccessful, it is recommended to contact the Personal
Copier Technical Support Group at 1-800-828-4040, 8A-8P EST, Monday -
Friday or 10A-8P Saturday for further support. The technician will
be happy to walk you through steps to resolve the issue efficiently.
At the time of your call please be near your unit and have the 8
character serial number from the back of your unit handy.
I do hope this information is helpful to you. Please let us know if
we can be of any further assistance with your D880.
Thank you for choosing Canon.
Sincerely,
Deborah

The PCs are on a network. I have tried installing this same printer
on 4 PCs now and none seem to work. They are not upgraded PCs though.
Some may have been downgraded from the new Vista program. We have
decided not to use that program within our Circuit. The items listed
under Universal Serial Bus Controllers are as follows:
-Intel(R)8280IG(ICH7 Family) USB Universal Host Controller - 27CB
-Intel(R)8280IG(ICH7 Family) USB Universal Host Controller - 27C9
-Intel(R)8280IG(ICH7 Family) USB Universal Host Controller - 27CA
-Intel(R)8280IG(ICH7 Family) USB Universal Host Controller - 27CB
-Intel(R)8280IG(ICH7 Family) USB2 Enhanced Host Controller - 27CC -USB
Printing Support -USB Root Hub -USB Root Hub -USB Root Hub -USB Root
Hub -USB Root Hub Then in the device manager it does have an other
devices marked with a yellow question mark. When clicking the + to
expand that it says Canon iCD800.
Thanks again for all your help,
Gabi

When doing what you suggested on another PC (a barebones with nothing
on it besides XP) the printer does install correctly without the
error.
When you go to print a test page, a test page does not print still.
The screen flashes but nothing happens and after a few seconds the
queue goes back to ready as if a test page did print.

Dear Gabi Birnie:
Thank you for your response. We sincerely apologize for any
difficulties you have experienced with the D880 and installing.
Unfortunately, the error message you have provided indicates a
possible system issue. You may try putting your computer in
Selective Startup, however, if this does not work, the error message
may be linked to background files and services that are a part of the
MicroSoft operating system not functioning correctly.
Please follow these instructions to put your computer in a Selective
Startup:
1. Click Start and then Run.
2. In the Open box of the Run window, type msconfig and and then
click OK.
3. In the General tab of the System Configuration Utility window,
click on the Selective Startup radio button.
4. Remove the check in the Load Startup Items box.
5. Click the Services tab.
6. At the bottom of the Services tab, click Hide all Microsoft
Services box. The window will refresh.
7. Under Service column, uncheck each box that is left in this tab.
8. Click Apply and then Close.
9. Click Restart.
10. Proceed to reinstall the D880 to see if the issue you described
has been corrected.
11. After install, repeat steps 1 and 2, click Normal Startup and
then restart your computer.

James,
There is no error given while trying to print. While installing the
drivers I do get an error that reads "An exception occurred while
trying to run"shell32.dll, SHHelpshortcuts_RunDLL_AddPrinter". I can
still make copies and receive faxes though. Yes, it is connected
straight to my PC.
Thank you for the help. This one has me kind of stumped!
Thanks,
Gabi

INQUIRY: We had this printer installed on another PC and was working
correctly. The user recieved a new PC with the XP service pack three
installed and we can not install the printer now. I looked on the
website for drivers, but there are only drivers for service pack two.
When trying to install using those drivers it acts as if it works but
when you print a test page nothing occurs. Do you have the updated
drivers or any suggestions to take to install this printer on this
new PC?
