Scanning I recently bought a Canon Pixma MP480 Printer all in one. We have a Windows Vista Home Basic computer, bought at same time. I use the Microsoft Works Word Processer. Will this printer scan and put the article on this application and allow me to type on document? I don't even know how to get it to scan except with photo programs. How can I scan to other functions (programs?)

As with most scanners, place the document in the scanner for scanning. Open the software that you wish to use. Select "File" from the menu and then "Import". Your scanner interface listing should appear. Click on the device to begin your import from your scanner. Your scanner should scan the document and it will appear in your application. Be advised, Scanners scan in a Graphic format. To edit in a wordprocessor you will need some kind of OCR (Optical Character Recognition) Software to convert the graphics into a wordable form for editing.

I purchased a Canon Pixma MP480 and have lost the installation disk, what can I do to use my printer with my computer since I do not have a disk?

Here is a link to Canon for your Pixma MP480 software / drivers. You will need to select the OS that your computer is running from the OS drop-down menu, download and then install (run the .exe or install program).

Sounds as though you need the complete software download for your MP240 and Vista. I recommend uninstalling your current driver before using the following from Canon support: (choose your operating system)

I can't install the cd rom on my computer i have a macproduct is pixma mp480

I don't know if I understood your problem correctly: you have a Canon Pixma MP480 and you want to install it in a computer with MAC OS and the CD that came with the printer is for Windows systems?

CANON has drivers and software available for your printer and MAC OS X. You can dowload them from PIXMA MP480 Photo All-In-One-Printer support homepage .

On that page, clickon the "Drivers & Downloads" tab and then select your operating system to get a list of compatible drivers, sofware and manuals.
Download the printer and scanner drivers compatible with your system, from "Drivers" section and select and download the software you need from the 'Software section".
For help and troubleshooting installation issues, click on 'Support & Service".
If I misunderstood your post and you have a different problem, please comment and I will try to help more.
