I bought a Cannon Printer yesterday and trying to install the printer on my computer.
Add printer
Unable to install printer. operation could
not be completed (error 0x000006be).
I bought a Cannon Printer yesterday and trying to install the printer on my computer.
That error came out when the installation almost finish. I retry the installation i disconnect the printer from the computer and i restart the computer. And when i tried to install it again, the error popped-up again on the screen. My OS of my computer is Windows Vista Premium.
What do you think is, the problem the computer or the printer? Or the installer of the printer. What will be my next move to be able to fix the error?
I need to print numbers of documents!
Thanks

If you cannot can not install the printer , some times the problem may be due to the driver. Please make sure that the driver you are installing is compatible with the windows vista operating system. You can download the driver from the website of the cannon. While downloading please make sure that the driver you are downloading is compatible with vista and you are downloading the appropriate driver for the model of your printer.
Before installing the new driver you should uninstall the old driver from the computer. For uninstalling the old driver you can select the start button and then select the control panel. In the control panel and then you can select the device manager. In the device manager you can find the printer. Select the printer and right click on it. Then you can see the option uninstall driver. Then the old driver for your printer will be uninstalled. Then you can install the new printer by double clicking on the set up file that you have downloaded and running the set up file.
After that you can check whether the printer is working properly. If after installing the new driver also the printer is not working then you can try to download the full installation CD from the website and then install it.
You can also try to update the driver. For that you can select the start button and then select the control panel and then from the control panel you can select the device manager.

It seems there is a problem with your printer software and that’s what’s causing the error. Usually when you buy a printer, the package already includes the installation CD so you can easily install its driver on your computer. But the problem is, if the version of the software is compatible with your operating system.
Since there is no way you can make the software install successfully, try downloading your printer’s software from the Canon website instead. Since you did not include the model name or model number of your Canon printer, head down to Canon Support Drivers and Downloads.
In there, you need to enter your printer’s model name, for example without quotes “mg2220” or “pixma mg2220”, and then you can select the available software for your printer. Also, make sure you select your operating system in “Operating System” to allow the page to display the available downloads for your printer based on the operating system you selected.
