windows 7 Unable to install new printer, Pixma MG5320 without error "Network setup of the printer Failed.

[News Bot]

I have a new Canon Pixma MG5320 multifunction. I am unable to get the setup to complete with out the "Network setup of the printer FAILED". Despite numerous attempts of:

   1) Download driver from internet instead of the install CD.

   2) Using msconfig with selective start up and all program except Microsoft disabled.

   3) Created new administrator account and went through everything again.

   4) Disabled firewalls and anti-virus

 

The error is consistent and I never have the device created under Devices and Printers. The install occurs without any errors being flagged and you only see the error if you go into set-up details and look for it. The printer sees the computer when it

searches and it responds. The printer and the Router both seem to be communicating correctly. The auto repair and troubleshooting programs I have run like fix-it do not detect any errors. The printer works correctly via USB cable. I do not want to continue

using USB as that was why I wanted to go wireless. I am sure I am forgetting some of the things I have gone through in my attempts to get this operational. Anyone with ideas or know what is going on please help.

 

 

Canon tech was very knowledgeable and says he sees this about once a month. He believes some program is interfering with the installation process. I do thank you in advance. Good day.
