Looking at the Canon site, there doesn't seem to be any XP drivers for it.
Like lots of hardware manufacturers, they probably didn't want to go to the
expense of producing drivers for "old" products, they would rather you
bought a new one - what a surprise !

Hi Wayne,

I have/had an LBP 465 - Can't get the drivers for that either... Canon say
they don't support it anymore.

The way I got round it was to have my machine Dual Boot 98/XPPro when I need
to use the Laser, I booted into 98. A bit time consuming......

I bought a Samsung ML1200 in the sales this year £48 .... it works really
well *much* faster than the canon, and totally XP compatible. I have it
running on my network with 2 XP machines and a 98 machine all working really
well.

I suggest trying to get a good deal on a new laser.... unless somebody comes
up with a driver.....like I say I have been waiting a couple of years.......
