Vista - Canon LBP 5200

As the title suggests, I've got a Canon LBP 5200. I'm running Vista x64 and of course the drivers won't install. (and yes, I've tried running as admin and in compatability modes)

Does anyone have a fix for this? Canon said that becaust Vista x64 is not in common use, they're not going to support it.

I thought maybe if at least I could get the driver installer to run, maybe I could play around and least have some functions, but I can't fool it into working. Any suggestions or help is greatly appreciated.

I've also of course tried the Vista auto detect hardware thing, without any luck.
Very sad.

Try here;

There does not appear to be a specific driver for this printer that word
with any Windows 64 bit system. Since it is a GDI printer, the chances of
finding a compatible driver range between slight to none.

Consider getting a PCL printer or PostScript printer to replace it. Although
there is no guarantee, chances are higher that you can get a good driver for
every operating system there ever was or will be.
