Canon Pixma Printer

[janbee]

Yesterday I bought a Canon Pixma printer and upon opening the box, I see there are two CD-ROMs enclosed with it. One states M1.2 and the other M1.1. Which one do I use? Do I use both? If so, which one goes first? Sorry to ask what may seem like silly questions but I'm so useless with ANY kind of technology. I'm still using semaphore, morse code and smoke signals to communicate !.
Any help or advice will be VERY gratefully received.

I asked this question on Thursday but have had no luck with a reply. I hope somebody can help at this second posting.
Thank you... xxx

Janbee, I too am a bit of a technophobe and as such can't be of any specific use. But I can offer a couple of suggestions; try entering the model of printer into Google, that may give you some clues, alternatively, go back to the outlet where you bought it and ask them for some help and guidance.

Good luck, and sorry I couldn't be more helpful. Thought you might feel like 'Billy no mates' without any answers!

Thank you BT for your reply. Yes, I was feeling sad and abandoned and adopting a woe is me nobody loves me attitude. I bought it at PC world and I'm still waiting for someone to get back to me re this problem. I just KNOW that they're not interested in anyone over the age of 25. When I bought it, I saw the spotty 12 year old salesboy roll his eyes in a "oh no, not another geriatric" look .
Thanks anyway BT. xx

Is there any other information on the CD's?
Usually, one is for Windows systems, and one is for Macs

If it were me I would put the M1.1 disc in first, and see what comes up on the screen.

if you don't want to just try it and see then you might find the answer on the official site

p.s. I have a Canon Pixma MP270 printer which comes with a M1.1 disc on which it says "Setup CD-ROM". Does the M1.2 disc have exactly the same title?

The M1.1 disc, when run, brings up a user interface where you select what you want to do - it doesn't just do things without you knowing anything about it. I suspect that the M1.2 disc behaves the same way, so you could insert each without installing anything, just to see the differences between them.

Thank you ALL for your replies. Very much appreciated. I'll have a go at your suggestions later, when I'm fully awake. Thank you all so much xxx

It's easy JB my sweet. Plug the USB port in to your computer or if it's wireless switch both the computer and the printer wireless devices on they will find each other.

If its by USB your computer should find the printer and set it up automatically most comps have a series of drivers for most printers. At worst you might have to use a set up disk
