Make sure that you have the most current printer driver and that the printer is compatible with XP. Hope this helps.

1. Goto Start->Control Panel->System->Hardware->Device Manager->

Look for any red "x"'s or Exclamation points. (Post a reply if any)

2. Uninstall the printer driver.

3. Download the latest driver from Canon, don't use the one on the CD. (like the prev reply , make sure its compat with XP *important)

4.restart! hopefully this should do it, IF you get the BSOD again, please post exactly what it says. Thanks.

uninstall your printer port (e.g ECP, LTP) in device manager. then restart..
win XP should re-install the port for you. and that is the time to install back your printer.
i've try this method and it is effective.
