Cannot communicate with the printer/Bi-Directional Support

Hi,

I have a Canon MX700 series printer and I just upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10. Everything worked fine until this update. Now, when I try to print I get error messgae:

Cannot communicate with the printer.
Turn Enable bi-directional support on in the printer's Properties dialog box.

I have followed the directions and I have re-installed the printer and updated to the latest drivers but I STILL get this error message. Plus, when I check the box to enable bi-directional support, then click apply, it still doesn't take. The box always comes back unchecked whn I try to print again. Please help!
