Just plug it in and see if Windows recognizes it. If your OS is 32-bit you could also try the Dell Vista 32-bit driver

they list for windows xp and windows 2000
if those do not work you need a new printer
this one might be too old to be compatible with windows 7

Canon have not developed drivers for this product for the Vista platform.

Normal 0 Disconnect the printer or at least be sure it is turned off. I'd do both and reinstall the CD software program that came with the printer. When the software program asks you to connect the printer to the USB port, do so and it should again work properly.
Hope this helps. Bud

Please don't take out my answer on my rankings. I just pass on what I know. Microsoft-certified Windows Vista drivers are not available for the MultiPASS product you are inquiring about. However, you may be able to install an emulation driver and set the machine to Printer Mode that will allow use of your product as a printer in Windows Vista. If you decide to use the Printer Mode function, please be aware that the instructions and support are provided as is and Canon does not guarantee compatibility or print results.
Note:

• To print using Printer Mode, the printer must be connected via a parallel port connection. A USB to parallel port connection is not recommended.
• Installing the emulation driver for your product will provide print functionality only. The scan and MultiPASS F50 fax driver, as well as the MultiPASS Desktop Manager and Toolbar, will not be installed and are not available in any Windows Vista environment.

If you need or want an emulation driver I can help. Sorry, please don't rate me bad for news. If you need more help on this just add a comment and I'll be there!!

check the Canon Knowledge base at www.canontechsupport.com, it may be the printhead or unit itself.
