| | How do I set up my network printer? Hi. I'm using Vista Home Premium x64 version and trying to set up my network printer. It is a Canon Bubble Jet BJC-4100. It is connected to another compy on my network. I tried setting it up on LTP1 like it was on the upstairs one and networked port for Canon port and Generic card. I tried setting it up as a network printer, but then it asks me for a driver that doesn't seem to exist. My question is, how do I set it up so I can print through the other comp's port on its driver? |

| | Re: How do I set up my network printer? The 4100 x64 driver is not included in Vista x64. Does Canon have the x64 driver on their website? The x64 driver must be loaded on the x64 system, it cannot use the 32 bit driver which resides on the other computer. -- Alan Morris Windows Printing Team Search the Microsoft Knowledge Base here: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=fh;[ln];kbhowto This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.

| | Re: How do I set up my network printer? Hmmm probably not, the BJC-4xxx series dates from the first days of Windows 95 (a) and Windows 3.1. Unless there's something in-box....... I'm actually surprised it's still working. Both my BJC-4000 and 4550 are long dead. -- Cari (MS-MVP) Windows Technologies - Printing & Imaging http://www.coribright.com/windows "Alan Morris [MSFT]" <alanmo@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:eQZf2NFBIHA.4732@xxxxxx Quote: > The 4100 x64 driver is not included in Vista x64.
