like what the title says i installed and canon multipass L6000 printer and it WORKED perfectly... until i installed a logitec messenger web cam and the printer device said server is busy and the printer device manager shuts down and i cant print. and when i restart the computer the printer is online and works until the web cam manager starts up. what to do? the web cam is connected via USB and the printer via 25 pin parralel cable. its an windows XP pro mother board is ASUS.
thanks in advance!Once both are installed go into Device Manager and check for issues.  Post back with what you find.

Alan &LT;><  ok WELL i went to device manger and it shows no problems but  i also called canon  and told them the problem and they said its because of SP2 that it blocks the constant comunication of the printer and the computer. now could somone tell me how i could change from sp2 to sp1 with out losing files and asap?Hang on there.  I'd bet that advise from Canon is not correct.  Before you give any more thought to uninstalling SP2, I suggest you wait and see what further discussion ensues here. 

I have a Canon BJC-2000 printer attached to a parallel port.  I just connected my webcam and then printed SOMETHING and had no problem.  Granted, you have a different device so my test may not mean anything.

Have you checked Canon's website for the most current driver for your canon multipass L6000 printer?  Do they say that driver works with Win XP?  Go here for a Win XP driver if you don't already have it: MultiPASS L6000 Download Library
thanks for the effort but thats the driver i have and it still doesnt work i followed the instructions and it doesnt work i google this problem and ppl say it works for them i just dont know why not for me !help please!"they said its because of SP2 that it blocks the constant comunication of the printer and the computer"Exuses,excuses. They wrote the driver, they should make it work!

Don't give up yet. Have you tried to uninstall the printer driver? If you can, unimstall it in safe mode. After
that use RegCleaner (free download) to clean up your registry. Then download a fresh copy of the driver from Canon, reinstall it. This should work. If not, WRITE back.

B.its not totaly free i have t register it and i still have 63 problems left it stil doesnt work im not trying to be picky but i need to get it working by tomorow night and if no fix could you help me with the downgrade?marek1177 ..... I'm assuming you have the suggested driver...... Desktop Manager 3.01 for XP .......... but if you read the article included in the link provided, there is mention of changing bios settings...... Have you tried that ?

yess i have have tried that like 4 times i am all out of ideas i keep google this problem i got it to work but as soon as i restart the computer it stps i am starting to have a mental breakdown  i need this printer working by sunday afternoon! marek1177 ...... This isn't a fix , but it may just assist in doing the Sunday print job........  Get it to print as you have been able to do and then don't shut down the machine ........
As far as reverting back to SP1 ....... thats not a good idea at all.
I understand you like that printer, however it is old and despite the fact that it still does a good job, you should seriously consider replacing it.
