canon f50

Hi,

I have a canon multifunction F50. It simply doesnt work w/ Vista. I cant
install the existing drivers. Does anyone have a similar problem or even
better a solution?

thanks.

I don't believe this multifunction is compatible with Vista. None of the F
series are, they're just too old for Canon to economically spend the
research time to write updated drivers.

I have a Vista Business system printing to a Canon F50 that is LAN shared on an XP-Pro system. When I shared the printer, Vista did not ask for anything special, like the Canon F50 CD. It just accepted the drivers from the XP box. It works well for me. I generally print Word/Excel documents, IE/FF pages with graphics.

I did try to install the F50 drivers on the Vista system before I did the printer sharing, but Vista refused to accept the F50 drivers directly.
