Vista - Canon i560 via network

I am wondering if someone can help me. If I connect my Vista x64 directly to the Canon i560 printer the drivers load and I can use the printer perfectly.

However my printer resides connected to a XP sp2 32bit system and when I try to connect to it via the network I get message stating that the driver being sent to it is not the correct driver and then it gives me an option to browse to the i560.inf file. I can't find this file anywhere and subsequently can't use the printer via the network. I am wondering if anyone can assist with telling me where I might find the correct driver either on my computer or download it from somewhere.

Thank you for any help that you can provide.

**Frustratingly it works perfectly on Vista x32 via the network.

Did you install the Add On module for Vista 32/64 from the Canon website?

Frustratingly they don't tell us where the Add On modules should be
installed... on the XP PC or the Vista PC, so in the case of my i950, I
installed it on both (??!!!!!!)

Pretty sure I installed both as well but will double check and let you know, thanks for the response.

Yep double checked and the software is installed on both machines. Any idea's on how I can fix this or where on the Vixta X64 machine I can find the drivers?

I have the same exact problem and was wondering if you ever found out
how to get the canon i560 working via network. thank you.

Same problems as what? The i560 works fine on a network. What problem(s)
are you having with yours?

I'm having the same problem as OzBoy. I have my printer connected to a
Win XP setup. I'm installing my Canon i560 over the network on a Vista
x64 machine. It detects it over the network but it says the drivers are
not correct and it prompts me to locate the *.inf file which I do not
know where it is located. I installed the add-on modules for the i560
on both the win xp and vista systems but no go still. any suggestions?

Has anyone found a solution for this problem? I'm also running 64 and
having the same issue when trying to connect to the i560 across the
network. I didn't have this problem with Vista 32 bit
