Hi all,
I am having to buy a new PC as mine has given up the ghost:mad: although only a couple of years old (have had to borrow a laptop),
and I would like to know which PC would be compatible with my Canon PIXMA MP460 Printer?
Any answers would be welcome.:beer:
Thanks.

What has 'given up the ghost' in your PC?
They are generally very easy to repair.
It isn't normal to consider which PC is compatible with a printer, especially one which cost £70 in 2007 (and hence potentially quite old).
The answer to that question, by the way, is any computer with a USB port, with any operating system that has the printer drivers available.British Ex-pat in British Columbia!0 -

It's a long long story..........one which has cost me alot of money.
Anway I intend just to buy a new tower/base unit PC to save costs.What is the point in buying a new printer if the one I have works fine?:smileyheaMagenta0 -
On the cannon website the Canon PIXMA MP460 has windows 7 drivers so get any computer with windows 7 and there should be no problems. Have a look at the zoostorm range on ebuyer (very good value).0

What OS is your existing printer? Most modern printers will have drivers available for W7, not all for W8.
2 minutes on the Canon support site will tell you what is available for your model.No free lunch, and no free laptop0 -

as stated what do you mean given up the ghost
HDD failure
Processor failure
etc.
All easy and cheaply to replace especially when PC is only 2 years old.0 -
Answering the op. Almost any PC you buy from a retail outlet will be compatible. That is because you would find it very difficult to buy a non Windows or Mac computer and they would definitely work with canon printers. So don't worry about it.0

Thanks MACMAN, ELLIOTT and THOR who have given me helpful replies.:beer:
I have now bought a zoostorm one running windows 7 from the ebuyer site. I have not heard of this brand before but researching them on the net has brought up very positive reviews.
I only hope I manage to fix it up when it arrives as apparently the instruction leaflet is not very helpful according to many buyers and of course I am only a GIRL, :rotfl::rotfl::smileyheaMagenta0
