Hello ! my name is Demir B.
i purchased "canon pixma ip4600" inkjet photo printer over 1 year ago and i installed it normally . worked perfectly so far.
few days ago it showed error in printing queue " printer not responding ".
i tried to reinstall drivers ,nothing helped . still same msg.
my os : Win 7
printer driver version i think its : v1.10
printer power - normal -
connected to pc normally like it use to be.
when i connect it to pc it shows " driver software installation"
- canon ip4600 series X FAILED -
maybe the cable that connects printer to pc is not working ... but when i connect it it recognises the printer and tries to install it ... but it just says "failed" in the installation of software box that shows up.
have no idea what to do. could you please help me out ? thanks a lot !

open the print dialog window,have a look around the options there, with the printer selected you should get some options that will turn the feature on.
Hello someone else here had this problem, this is what he posted:
"Same problem with a Canon MP540 fresh from the box. Turned out to be the print head unit was not returning fully to the home position ie extreme right. My Fix : When the scanning unit cover is raised the print head unit moves left for access, look in the vacated area to the right, in particular the small black sponge where the head normally parks. I found a small spring jammed in beside the sponge, removed it and all is well. Don't know what the spring was meant to do but everything is working fine without it.On the MP540 the head unit now glows red, presumably meaning all is well...

The PGI-220 is the larger ink tank and is filled with standard black ink. The PGI-221 black cartridge is the photo black. There is no way to force the printer to use the photo black cartridge (skinny one) to print documents. The photo black cartridge is only used if you print a photo. I own a Cartridge World ink refilling shop and I can't refill these cartridges yet. There is no way to reset the ink level chip without a resetter and any replacement chips you find on the internet are technically violating patent law.
