    Select your OS and language from the drop down lists and away you go.
    Windows will prompt you when it's time to plug the printer in.

    Don't use the disk, go to the canon website.

    The link above works fine for me and comes up with a windows 7 driver

    Click Start and type services.msc in the search box and press enter.
    The service you are looking for is the Print Spooler and it's startup type should be set to Automatic
