When I turn on the MG4120 printer and the printer is already setup for wireless and I have WSD enabled, Windows 8 or 8.1 automatically installs older Canon MG4100 drivers from Windows update. The same thing happens if I connect the USB printer before installing the Canon software from the website and the same issue also happen in wireless mode. The version that gets installed by Windows Update is the same version listed in the catalog at http://catalog.update.microsoft.com/v7/site/Search.aspx?q=mg4100.
Windows 8,Windows 8.1 Drivers,Windows Vista Drivers (Printers) 8/16/2011 2.50.2.70
Windows 7 Drivers (Printers) 3/13/2012 18.0.2.31
Canon, can you please submit the newer printer driver to microsoft Windows Update?

Hi KeithWeisshar,
WSD drivers are supplied and supported by Microsoft. The version numbers and dates are not comparable to the numbers and dates for our drivers. While WSD will provide you with basic printing capability and some features, to get the most from your printer, I recommend using the drivers found on our website.
