How to share my Canon MX 300 printer and scanner to my other computer?
Answer by

If the printer is installed and computer is connected to a network, simply go to Start > Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Devices and printers. Right click the default printer, then go to Properties > Sharing. Assign a name for the printer and the other computer will have the possibility to use the network printing feature.
I bought a Pixma 394. Problem is, it won't connect to my PC (Windows 8) or my laptop (Windows 7). It will be picked up sometimes with instructions to wait until installation is complete but before the installation completes, I get the same message "Printer could not be detected, check the USB cable".
I have tried everything on the manual, checking the cable to the PC/Printer, switched the printer on and off, took the installation CD out and re-inserted it and restarted the PC but the installation won't pass this 3rd stage.
Any help will be appreciated.

My recommendation is to try to remove everything that's related to this printer: driver, software, help tools, configuration tools, etc. Secondly, go to Start > Run > Services.msc and locate the Print Spooler in the list. Right click it and select Restart then reboot the PC and use the official downloads to obtain the drivers. Download the correct driver for your operating system and plug the printer to PC when you're asked and it should work. Additionally, if it gives you the same error, there might be a problem related to hardware and it needs repairing.
How can I send a document to multiple fax numbers? I mean, I have only one document and I want to send it for several numbers in the same time.

Most of the fax programs and printers have a function called "Broadcast Fax" or "Group Fax". You can access it from the FAX menu. After the function is accessed, simply enter the numbers one by one or access them from speed dial and put the paper into the feeder tray and wait. The fax should be sent to multiple numbers of choice.

No. The MX390 series drivers aren't compatible with the printer that you mentioned. You can obtain the compatible driver, by accessing the official support website. Also, on the site mentioned above, you can find the scanning utility that is provided by the manufacturer and can be used together with your printer. After you installed the driver, you should be able to use the scanning feature of your device.
