Sorry, Ibrahim, but it is a dangerous assumption that "plug and play" will
always work. As I have this past week discovered.
I purchased a Canon Pixma MX925 which is a low cost ink jet, and not far short
of the only ink jet printer I could find which prints direct on to CDs and DVDs.
According to the "Quick Start" guide, I just plugged it in and off it went.
And accordingly, the last thing shown on the guide was to use the enclosed CD
to set it up.
Well, as I discovered after a call to Canon, I should really have installed the
drivers from their CD first.
George.

Hi John.
When I plugged my cannon LiDe 210 scanner in to my PC this morning, it
downloaded and installed the drivers automatically using Windows Update
drivers. Obviously there is utility software that if I wished I could install,
but Cannon drivers are readily available directly from Microsoft and are WHQL
certified.
All the best, Ibrahim.
