I know this sounds stupid, but check your connections one more time. USB cables plugged into the right ports ... etc... Next, try downloading the drivers directly from Canon first: http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/support/consumer/printers_multifunction/pixma_mp_series/pixma_mp190#DriversAndSoftware If this doesn't help unplug all of your USB peripherals and restart your computer. Once it's back on only plug in the Canon. If there is no response try using a different USB cable or testing the cable on another device if possible. This might be a pain since you're dealing with a type A end on one side and type B on the other. I've had bad cables on numerous occassions and this is definitely in my checklist when troubleshooting. If that doesn't work you should open device manager on your computer to see if the printer USB connection is even listed as active. The fast way to get to it is to just click on your Windows icon in the lower-left corner and then type 'device manager' in the search box. Once in device manager just scroll down and look for any error icons specifically in the Universal Serial Bus controllers section. I'm not sure which operating system you have so I can't go into more detail. However, try the easier steps first before we go through the looking glass.

I recommend you do not refill yourself. It's okay to buy remanufactured from a reputable dealer. BiggestBook com
