Hello, thank you for using Howly. I’ll be happy to help you out! May I ask your name?
*****
Nice to meet you, *****!
Sorry, what do you mean by 'not responding'?
When I select a document to print from my laptop to the Canon TS5150 I am getting a dialogue message saying Printer not responding
Understood, thank you!
I have loaded the drivers from the Canon website
Got it
And it printed a test page successfully
*****, did you try to re-add the printer in your computer's settings?
No
Okay, do you use it with your Mac?
No
The Mac is not compatible as it is too old
Got it
Do you use it on WIndows?
Yes
Got it
Please select the Start button, then select Settings >Devices >Printers & scanners.
OK
Take your time!
Please, let me know when you're done with that.
Done it
Good
Please, follow the steps below:
Is everything clear with the provided instruction?
Yes done
Good
Then right click on the printer icon > left click on "remove device"
Done that no printers showing
Okay, thank you
Please re-connect the USB cable to the printer
Done it
Great
Now please try to print anything
No printers installed
Don't we need to add a printer
Usually, it recognizes it on its own, *****
But let's do it manually
It has found the Canon but thinks it is attached to the Imac
Sorry, is your printer connected to iMac?
I don't understand why as it is not connected to the Mac
Okay, why do you think it's attached to your iMac?
You said Windows found the printer
The laptop is not connected to Imac
Okay
Did you manage to connect the printer to your PC?
I have now got the laptop to find the Canon but showing Driver unavailable
Is it the same computer as before?
Yes the laptop. Am now again downloading drivers from Canon website
Okay
Take your time!
Please, keep me apprised.
Will do

How is it going, *****?
