Canon BJC-250 USB problem

I recently connected my Canon BJC 250 to one of my USB
slots. XP detected the printer and then I downloaded the
latest driver from the Canon page. I printed a test page
and it came out OK but the printer kept the print job
blocking other print jobs and it wont get cancelled. It
does this with every print job and I have to reboot the
computer several times before I can clean the print job
screen. It seems like it sends the same job three times
but it only prints the first one. Printer worked fine
when connected to LPT1.

Wrong way round.... install driver BEFORE connecting printer!

Do an uninstall and then reinstall the correct way round!

There are three separate steps and all three must be complete for XP to
'see' the new drivers.

Disconnect the printer.

Go into the Control Panel, Add/Remove programs and uninstall any printer
software.

Then go to Printers & Faxes and right click and delete your printer.

Reboot the PC. Do NOT reconnect the printer. Go back to Printers & Faxes
in the Control Panel and from the toolbar, select File, Server Properties.

In the drivers tab, delete all the entries for the printer.

Reboot the PC. Do NOT reconnect the printer.

Download a new set of drivers from the printer manufacturer's website

Follow the instructions at the printer manufacturer's website and only
connect the printer when the software tells you to do so.

Thanks

I followed all your instructions, it worked better but I
still have the problem in which the pages get printed but
the print job its still open. Can the printer cable be
the problem or is it a USB configuration problem.
