Alternatively you can get a Driver Update Tool. Whilst there are firmware updates available for several more Canon lenses, these have to be performed by your local service centre. Download the Driver and follow the instructions given by the printer manufacturer. If Windows does not find a Driver, browse the printer manufacturer website for Drivers. I then successfully used the original "Canon PRO-100 Series" printer for printing a photo from Lightroom (using the Canon Print Studio Pro plug-in). Select Remove Device from the top of the screen. I did find an extra Printer in the lst and dutifully deleted it. The installer advised that this extra printer in the list could (and probably should) be deleted. The installer warned that there could be an extra printer in the list after the update, something like "Canon PRO-100 Series Copy 1" (I forget the exact name). I printed one of my photos (via WiFi), and everything worked fine.Īt one point near the beginning of the update process, I'm fairly sure I heard the USB disconnected sound, a few seconds after which I heard the USB connected sound.Īfter the firmware update (and after I removed the USB cable), I visited the Printers & Scanners control panel. I did a nozzle check to see the firmware version, and the sheet reported 2.031. At that point, I removed the USB cable, and I was still connected to the printer via WiFi. The printer came back to life and all was well. Then, as instructed, I disconnected, then reconnected power.
At the end of the process, as described in the updater, the printer powered down. The printer never showed any orange lights, at least none that I noticed. When I clicked the "Start" (or similar) button, the progress bar gradually moved from left to right, and at the end, the display changed and told me the update was successful. I never turned off WiFi, it was on during the entire update process and it didn't seem to make any difference.
Before running the updater, I connected the printer to the PC using a long USB cable (it's normally connected only via WiFi). When I updated the firmware, there was nothing much to see other than what the updater told me I should see. The folks who got it to work - can you see what it is doing? Description is pretty vague.
