The next step is to install the printer drivers from your Printer installation CD and please be sure to only connect the USB printer cable when the on screen instructions ask you to. The usual solution would be to uninstall the printer ( using the installation CD if available) and then, disconnect the USB printer cable close down your machine, wait 30 seconds and then restart your machine. Hi, Sorry to hear of the problem with your printer. What should I do now? Should I edit my current registry? I was able to complete the printer driver installation in this registry and printed a test document.Īfter returning to my current registry (which was backed up, by the way), the printer's exclamation mark was back in Device Manager. The restored registry contained errors, unlike my current registry, but I found no exclamation mark by the printer in Device Manager.

Gateway's customer service representative suggested checking the current registry and restoring a previous one. I have tried Canon's suggestions, but none of them worked. I made contact with Canon and Gateway by telephone and electronic mail respectively. While reinstalling the printer driver, I found out that the USB printer could not be detected, resulting in an exclamation mark beside the printer in Device Manager. I would soon discover a problem with the computer responding to the printer.

After months of no printer ink, I recently placed a new ink cartridge into the Canon PIXMA ip1600 printer.
