Canon IP4000 w/WinXP.

It was working fine and then it quit printing text. Restore can't be done as I recently cleaned out my restore points. I've reloaded the driver a couple of times, but still, no go.

I'm wondering if it had anything to do with trying out IE7. I loaded it, didn't like it, and went back to IE6. Now, when I loaded 7, I noticed it said something about True Type Fonts, but don't remember what. Could this have something to do with that? Any help is GREATLY appreciated. Thanks!

Click start then search, include hidden and system files, look for Fonts

You should have folders for Windows 50MB + and also the printer, at least, other programmes may have installed fonts

OK! I've tried that AND I did a clean reinstall of windows. Still no go... The only thing I haven't tried yet is using a cable instead of USB to connect the printer, but I'd rather get this figured out. Thanks for any help!!

What does the printer give with the test page?

You re-installed IE7?

No, IE6 and BLOCKED IE& from downloading. The printer page (test) just shows a small icon (image).
