Canon Inkjet Printer Series MG2500 error code 0x80244018

BeKa

I have been trying to set up my printer but I keep getting an error message error code 0x80244018 "Canon Inkjet Print Utility, app wasn't installed". I having been going through the Windows Store. I have Windows 8.1. How can I fix this problem? Thanks for any help.

 

P.S. Sorry for the bold and large text. I got shingles and viral meningitis last Oct 2015 and was left blind in my right eye. Making text bold and larger helps me to see it a little better. Thanks

after hours of trying to get the driver to install both from the disc and from the canon site and connection failing error when it was connected, I got around the obstacles, it's finally installed. Go to print the test page and get the error "printer out of paper" and it's not empty and I literally bought this printer hours ago get it installed and now this.... why are there so many issues with this unit working and what the heck is causing this error?
