    i have an old compaq computer that uses windows 98. i had to use the computer restore disk that came with the computer because i had accidently goofed something up. we have a canon s 520 bubble jet printer connected to it but it wont work. ive put the disk in that came with it and ive used the add printer wizard but the model isnt listed for all of the canon products. if someone can give me the steps to reinstall this id be very appreciative.

    re cant install printer on windows

    pete, thanks so much for the link. i downloaded it but it wouldnt work as i got it to unzip but then i couldnt do anything as i dont have a winzip on this computer, however i went to canon usa and downloaded a driver for my s 520 and with a little hair pulling and cussing and swearing and finagaling i was able to finally able to open it and install it and i now have a working printer. hurray! i think ive missed my calling when it comes to some things i guess im better with computers than i thought i was. i dont know what magic buttons i pushed but whatever i can print things again. this is from a person who 4 years ago couldnt even turn a computer on or off as i was afraid i would blow it up. :)
