    Adding a Printer to Desktop Computer


    Adding Printer to Desktop Computer –

    I have two Canon printers, PIXMA Model 480 and MG5721.

    I recently downloaded the drivers for model MG5721. I checked my Devices and Printers page and both were listed as follows:

    I then selected Model 480 to be my default printer. And when I did that I lost the listing of Model MG5721 as follows:

    However, if I want to manually print a document, both models do appear. See below:

    I haven't had this issue before.

    How can I get both models to be listed under Devices and Printers?

    Thanks,

    Jerry

    Sorry, I found the answer to my post. It turns out when I selected Model 480 to be my default printer, the icon for Model MG5721 changed to Inkjet Printer.

    I had a similar problem a while back and concluded it was driver design issue.
