Canon printer install directions are VERY specific. You
CANNOT bypass/ignore ANY of them. They come up
when you insert the install CD.

If you plugged your printer into the USB port BEFORE
you installed the drivers you have shot yourself in the foot.
Canon install directions are VERY specific in that you should
never do this (unless things have changed in the last year - I have
not needed to install any of their drivers recently). It's covered
on the Quick Start sheet.

On the CD (at least every one I have had for Canon printers)
there's a page that explains how to recover from a botched install -
try that.

Or go to their Web site for similar info.
