Canon IP2600 driver and Windows 8
Hi everyone,
I've been attempting to download the Canon printer driver from various reputable, online sources and I keep getting an error message that indicates the driver is for 32 bit formatting only and is unable to run on my current system.
Does anyone know what I may try to get my printer to download to Windows 8?
Thanks in advance for the help & Merry Happy Christmas Holiday...

The Pixima 2600 Drivers are here
You should NOT try getting drivers from anywhere but the source.

In Windows Update, update the OS and Internet Explorer to the latest version. - If the printer driver is installed inWindows 8,
and if Windows 8 is upgraded to Windows 8.1
while keeping the printer driver installed,
Enable bidirectional support in the printer
properties may be deselected, disabling
detection of the ink level, etc.
Re-install the printer driver after upgrading to Windows 8.1
and Enable bidirectional support.

Charx Jenn,
What virus program and firewall are you using?
Printer wired or wireless? If wireless, is the printer already on your network and working?
Can you run Finding System Information REMOVE YOUR PRODUCT ID and REGISTERED OWNER and post the information back here.
