hi guys
i bought a new printer, a Canon PIXMA MG4250, and tried to install it.
it came with a disc for installation with Windows 8, but i use Windows 7 64bit.

i went online and downloaded drivers but none of them worked.

Maybe you have a virus on your Printer, which is stopping it connecting. Have you checked....?

How are you trying to install it Dan? Some printers work best with a USB cable when you first set them up, before moving to a wifi connection afterwards

Cheers fellas. Carl fixed it for me - my firewall was blocking it.
