Tried to install online for both products,,Bought a new
PC with Windows xp..the printer downloaded, online for an
updated driver, and I also installed the Toolbox,,but I
would try and print,,said "printing" nothing would
happen. I would try a test page....nothing. Not even the
button would do anything. When I unplugged it, and
plugged it back in,,you could hear the scanner,,I want to
clear out anything I have done so far,,and try and start
over, and try again. Do I need to know something about
the Registry, and Keys??
Went to Best Buy,,they said I couldn't use the Parallel
port from the printer to the scanner, and the scanner to
my PC....?? It worked on my other (4mth. old, PC..but
maybe that is why the Hard Drive went out 3 times in 4
mths.??)they tried to figure it out, no luck, so got
another printer. Lexmark..it works great, but
disappointed, I liked my Cannon products..Thanks for any
help..
 
You cannot 'piggy back' parallel port devices in XP.... you can install one
or the other, but not both.

(at least that's what I think you're trying to ask)

Canon make a great range of USB scanners... and USB printers as well!
