Hi, I recently bought a Canon i450 USB printer and the
printer cannot be detected by the driver supplied. I run
another USB printer with the one I bought and it works
fine, however I cannot install the new one.

I tried adding the Add Printer option, and installed the
driver, but it printer on the old printer.

I tried installing the printer on another computer running
WinXP and it worked without a problem.

I was told to update my BIOS by Microsoft, but it still
doesn't work.

Any help appreciated.
 
If I'm reading you correctly you said when you added the
new printer it still printed on the old printer, make
sure your new printer is set as the default printer, go
into the control panel, then printers, find your new
printer, right click on it and set as default printer, if
this doesnt work, you may need to go to the canon website
and get an updated driver thru the support link., good
luck!
