If you let the auto install do the installation of the printer, that could be the problem. Canon has had some problems with the auto hardware install.

Uninstall completely-Go to download programs file and delete cannon folder.
Restart. Check to see if the programs now work. If NO- Call cannon and they should walk you through the steps to delete all remnants of their soft ware.

If the programs do work- search the cannon disc for the printer driver only and install it. If you cannot find it- go to cannon website and download the driver from there and install it. You will miss out on all the fluff that comes with cannon printers (i.e.- photo creators, calender creators etc....) but you will be able to use your printer.

My 2cents worth.

As a last resort- use the system restore to get to a point before you installed
the printer software.
