INF problems, printer won't work

Hello,

I'm unable to get my printer to work as a result of (apparently) some problem in the INF file.

I get the error codes 0xe0000228 and 0xe0000102

As well, I'm told the printer driver required is not detected,
and that the required line was not found in the INF. I've spent numerous
hours researching this to no avail. I have found no conclusive solutions to this
problem.

Could someone please help me? I'm at my wits end.

Sincerest thanks.

Darrell

 

It would help if you would give us the make & model of the printer you're trying to install, as well as the computer make & model and the OS you're using.

 

Ooops, that was rahter dense of me wasn't it?

Okay, the printer is Canon MP250. The PC is just put together from sundry parts, but I am using XP.

Hopefully that's everything.

 

Plodr,

Thanks for trying to help. I did everything you suggested, to the "T"
and the problem still persists. Everything I've found on line that seems like it would be the solution turns out to either 1) not be quite the same problem as I'm having or 2) describes my situation but doesn't tell what to do about it. Microsoft being one of the worst perpetrators.

Thanks again.
