Canon i560 via network OzBoy <OzBoy.2t9yi3[ at ]no-mx.forums.net> 7/6/2007 12:53:18 AM 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. -- OzBoy

Re: Canon i560 via network OzBoy <OzBoy.2thb34[ at ]no-mx.forums.net> 7/10/2007 12:04:43 AM Pretty sure I installed both as well but will double check and let you know, thanks for the response. -- OzBoy

Re: Canon i560 via network OzBoy <OzBoy.2tj981[ at ]no-mx.forums.net> 7/11/2007 1:18:50 AM 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? -- OzBoy

Re: Canon i560 via network "Cari \(MS-MVP\)" <newsgroups[ at ]coribright.com> 12/28/2008 1:54:30 AM Exact same problem as what? Guessing here...... because of lack of usable information provided... Have you tried connecting the Canon to the Vista PC and installing it locally, then removing it to its original connection on the XP PC and changing the location on the Vista PC to \\XPPX\XPPrinter.... where XPPC is the shared name of the XP PC and XPPrinter is the shared name of the Canon printer? Info required to answer in more depth... How is the Canon connected to the XP PC? Is it connected locally via USB or are you actually using a Print Server... Note: An XP and Vista PC CANNOT be a Server, Windows Server 2000, 2003 and 2008 are Server operating systems which support unlimited connections. XP and Vista are workstation operating systems, with limitations of 5 or 10 maximum simultaeous connections. If you are using a Print Server, what is assigning the TCP/IP address to the printer? What is the make/model of the print server? Does it have the latest firmware? Is it supported by Vista? Can the Vista PC 'see' the files and folders on the XP PC... ? Are they in the same Workgroup? Is the printer correctly shared (if connected to the XP PC) and the shared name of the printer 12 characters or less with no spaces and no illegal characters? There are at least a dozen or more questions I could ask, but let's start with those first. -- Cari (MS-MVP) Printing & Imaging www.coribright.com/windows "Tecfan" <Tecfan.3l3and[ at ]DoNotSpam.com> wrote in message news:Tecfan.3l3and[ at ]DoNotSpam.com...

Re: Canon i560 via network Tecfan <Tecfan.3l4lvb[ at ]DoNotSpam.com> 12/28/2008 10:57:36 AM Hey, sorry for the lack of info, thought there wasn't more to add than what the topic said. the answers to your questions: HAVE YOU TRIED CONNECTING THE CANON TO THE VISTA PC No, I haven't. I will try this now. What do you mean by changing the location on the Vista PC? Like changing computer name to that of the printer server's name, or manually find the printer? HOW IS THE CANON CONNECTED TO THE XP PC? USB to a Windows XP Home Edition, stripped and optimized for "server" stuff. CAN THE VISTA PC 'SEE' THE FILES AND FOLDERS ON THE XP PC... ? ARE THEY IN THE SAME WORKGROUP? Yes, for me this printer works for all the XP's in the house, and also my 32bit Vista laptop. It's only my 64bit vista that doesn't work.
