For a good friend,
Buy Windows 7 Key, I am attempting to share a USB Canon pixma ip3000 printer in between two pcs in his property network. But I can not get it to operate due tot a Canon driver problem.
The printer is related for the Windows 7 (64 bit) computer,
Cheap Windows 7 Professional, and we'd prefer to be capable of print from a Windows XP pc. 'Normally' it should be no dilemma to utilize Windows printer sharing,
Office 2007 Enterprise Key, nonetheless, because 1 machine is 32-bit as well as the other is 64-bit, putting in an further driver is needed. T
he driver supplied by canon (here) is described as a 'Canon Inkjet Printer Driver Add-On Module'. The issue is always that the .inf file contained inside the .exe file isn't really accepted as a driver when prompted through the Printer Sharing Wizard, I suspect due to the fact it's an add-on driver (no matter what which will be).
I've related and set up the printer locally on the XP machine initial (which functions),
HackITLinux Dell enters the netbook market,
Microsoft Office Professional 2007 Key, to ensure that the XP machine would already know the driver when employing it being a network printer,
Office Professional Plus 2007 Key, but that doesn't work; the wizard nonetheless wants a driver file.
Anybody ideas how to get this working? Maybe there is certainly some type of generic driver (will be Okay even with restricted features)?
