Problems with installing printer drivers.

[Richard_Sol]

I have a Canon MP240 printer, and the problem is that i can't install the drivers. I have tried downloading the driver from website and letting Windows do it by itself. But none of them work. The only thing that comes up when trying to install through the downloaded file is, An error occured while files were being copied.


Any help would be nice. Thank You

Try downloading them to a different place than the defaults, and make sure the account you are using had administrator rights on the computer. You downloaded the printer setup from Canon support site correct? Or did you just pick some random driver download site?

I downloaded it from the Canon Supporter site. First it stops at Registering program information, and then it stops at an error occured while files were being copied. I tried downloading it to the desktop and its not working. Any examples where i could download it to?

Did you click drivers and downloads from this page? https://www.usa.canon.com/internet/portal/us/home/support/details/printers/support-inkjet-printer/mp-series/pixma-mp240

Try installing some other program and see if that works. You may have corrupt registry or user account or may not be using an admin account to run the setup. Try WinZip, it's a small program for compressing files and you can uninstall it later once you see if it will install for you . http://www.winzip.com/win/en/downwz.html
