I have an old printer [Cannon BJC ink jet made in 1997] which has only Win95/98 driver for it. It is attached with my desktop computer which runs on Win98. However, my laptop runs on WinXP Home Edn. and I found that I can't install driver for my printer in my laptop.
Is there any way to recognize my laptop my old printer... The manufacturer of the printer has discontinued that model of the printer. So, how can I attach my printer with the laptop? Is there any hope???
Thanx
I'm not sure if this is ganna help but ...
Try to install the standard version of Cannon BJC Printer .
tried but didn't work.
Is there any way to make WinXP recognize Win9x version printer driver? It's going on saying that the supplied inf file is invalid where Win9x recognizes the printer correctly from the same inf file.
Have you tried to use the 9X mode in XP?
How will that help ? Even if 9x driver was installed , XP might not able to deal with it !Quote:

XP has previous OS's backdating facility. You can set a program to use 9X mode even in XP.
I'de try the 2000 drivers first...
What model? 4000BC 4200? 4300?
If you have a 4300 with the scanner add-on... it will not work under XP.

I know that guys , what you said only applies to applications(not always of help though) not hardware drivers .
that's true, drivers won't work in simulation mode!
So, is there any hope still.... :(
Try looking for those drivers everywhere otherwise , it won't work I think .Quote:

Just thought of another idea but I'm not too sure if it's ganna work . Install the printer with 98 dirvers on Win98 , connect your XP machine to use that printer from Win98 .
Maybe... if you tell us the model number... :rolleyes:Quote:

Honestly... the things I do for people! :)
There are all the links to the relevant XP drivers for 90% of the printer's in that year!

P.S [technicalgumftokeepmesafe] Those files are (obviously) not hosted by Vision i.T and have no bearing with our brands section whatsoever. We can not guarantee the drivers are compatable with all software. [/technicalgumftokeepmesafe]
