When my computer hard drive died I purchased a new computer but no longer had use of my printer - lost the printer driver for my Canon Pixma IP4600 printer. I don't use a printer very often, perhaps once every 3-4 weeks.
I welcome any suggestions on how to get a printer driver for my IP4600 (Canon no longer supports the IP4600 - "it's been retired") or a recommendation for a new (inexpensive) Canon printer.
Thanks for your help.
Did the IP4600 come with a CD?
Do you have a CD drive in the new computer?
Canon has nothing archived at any of these places? Was the old computer a Win 7 box?:
Canon IP4600 driver searchCan windows search the net for a driver?
I've no idea how old the printer may be. Too old and no Win 10/11 driver?
I have a TR8520, but they don't sell them anymore either. Seems like everyone releases new printers every six months or less.
Thanks for your response. Yes, the printer did come with a CD (purchased in 2009) however, "auto run" provides an .if file which is no longer useful - I have a note written on the CD - "Don't use, go online". And yes, I have a CD drive in my new computer. I've tried on-line but could not find a driver for the printer. I think I read where Windows 8.1 was the last software able to run my printer but, I was using the software on my Windows 10 machine and the printer worked normally. Since my printer use is limited I didn't want to purchase another printer. Again, thanks for your response.

Two words, one term: Ink Tank. I've printed over 4,000 pages, and my ink tanks are about half full. I still have some ink left in the bottles. A full supply of ink costs $65. Epson ET-2760.

I have an Epson 4550 Eco Tank, with similar results.
Also, no more crossing your fingers when confronted with a time crunch!!!

Jimmy, Does the 4550 ecotank printer (you mentioned above) print photo quality?

Looks like you can download a driver here.

Thanks to those attempting to help me locate a driver for my PIXMA IP4600. I investigated all supplied suggestions and was unsuccessful even with the pay for software sites - only go to Windows 10.

What printer do you have? Are Ink Tanks available for P5000 Epson???
Thanks Robert for your interest in helping me with my lost software. I looked at your suggestion and unfortunately it did not work.
I plan to start looking for a new computer or try to network - using my wife's printer via WiFi.
Thanks anyway.
I just did a google search and found it in several places. You can too.
