Friend, customer running a new puter with w7 home premium 64bit, her printer ( canon xx500) works fine.
Tried to map her laptop to print, can not make it go. I assume I need to add the X86 drivers to the w7 install but w7 will not let me. DL'ed directly from Canon. FWIW the printer on the w7 box just was recognized and worked on first boot but when it asks me for additional drivers it just will not take them. AT a loss at the moment. As a work around put a folder on the laptop to copy docs to and a shortcut on the w7 box she can print so at the moment no big deal but I really HATE not being able to make it go. I wonder to myself if a newer printer might work. Worked fine when she was running xp. I have mapped many a printer. My w7 box has no problem printing thru my XP box. ( opposite to her situation) fp thanks Happy *V* Day -- Tallyho ! ]:8) Taglines below ! -- Quick! Say something profound in 45 characters or le.
