Canon IR C5185 Driver issue

[Digger]

I have the 5185 and it has been running fine. I started it up today and I went to print something from word and I needed the paper in the side paper deck and when I brought up the printer properties dialouge box, the side paper deck was greyed out. It would not allow me to choose it.

This happened once before a long time ago but I cannot remember how I fixed it. I tried rebooting the copier and nothing. I can connect to the copier from my browser and bring the internal software and it shows the paper deck is there.

Now also what is happening is I try to access the printer properties dialogue from a program it just shuts the program down. I can access it from Word but every other program I have tried just shuts down only when I click on the properties button.

I did reinstall the driver but no change.

Any help appreciated.

Take another PC and install new driver. Be sure choose correct Driver and OS version, also 32 or 64bit.
Setup driver with Administrator account.
