Need to Re-install PIXMA MX490 W/O CD--It's Lost!

[LiseF]

Hello All!

I need to re-install my Canon PIXMA MX490 Printer, but lost my install CD. Any way I can re-install w/o my install CD?  My printer is not recogonizing my desktop computer, nor is it connecting to my WiFi.  Everything worked before my new Dell was installed.  Then all of a sudden, even though all things were functioning well, the desktop would tell me, or the printer would tell the computer, it was offline.  NOTHING had been moved, changed, or touched.  Then a smart friend, who said, "I know how to fix this!"  (famous last words)  and removed all the Printer and parts (fax, etc) from the Settings!!!  NOW, of course, I can't get it back into the computer, w/o re-installing it!  Is there a free installation download to use, or must I buy another installation cd??

Thanks in advance!

I have been fightimg this same situation since I got new fiber optic internet. I have been through the installation hundreds of times. Nothing has worked so I just bought usb cables to hook to laptop and smartphone. It's aggravating to say the least.
