Wait for Canon to come up with a fix? or

Buy a MFC device that is compatible. or

Go back to SP1.

Post a question on the Canon website about this.
I too have a similar problem with my Canon MPC600f - I
have logged a question on the Canon website. If enough of
us do this then perhaps they will take it seriously.

I manage to get my canon printer MPC190 working after the SP2 upgrade + no
more "hang" when opening window explorer.

what i did. (logged) CHEERS!!!

1. Boot in Safe Mode
2. Remove all multipass software from add/remove programme
3. Delete the default folder for Canon Multipass (programs folder)
4. Open registry and search for "canon" & "multipass"
5. Delete all related registry highlighted for the above
6. Restart PC and start windows normally
7. Install Multipass software and Driver for Printer.
8. CHEERS!!! It Works....

*tinker* I guess the printer driver could not do a proper
migration/installation during the windows update to Service Pack 2. Need to
do a fresh install.
