Canon MF3240 Printer and Windows 10

[iamvj]

Hi,

I have a Canon Imageclass MF3240 printer and a Laptop with Windows 10

I am trying to use it to print and scan.


When I connect to the laptop it does not plug and play.

Issue #1: In device manager no printer icons or unknown devices


So went ahead and downloaded the windows 10 64it MF3240 drivers from the Canon website

Installed prenter drivers using ContrlPane;l > devices > Printer > Add New Printer > Have disk > Download driver.

I can now see the printer as MF3240 series in the device Mgr

Issue #2: Cannot print the test page or any page. Gives Error: Printer in Error state

Removed the device from the Printers and individually install the .INF files by right-clicking each file in the downloaded driver folder.

'Issue #3: Cannot see andy print or print the test page or any page.

Removed the device and tried to install the Windows 7 64bit driver for the printer

I can now see the printer as MF3240 series in the device Mgr

Issue #4 Cannot print the test page or any page. Gives Error: Printer in Error state


Changed the printer cable to see if that was the issue ...No printer was not the issue

I have trying for some time and looking up forums everywhere and tried all the above with no success.

I do not wish to throw the printer. If anyone and guide me so that I can print and scan on this printer


Thanks in advance
