Howdy. I need some basic help for dummies here.
I have a desktop. It has 2 printers. A parallel port Epson and a USB Canon
Pixma IP4000.

Each printer has sharing enabled (Printer 1 and Printer 2)

I have 2 laptops. I have no problem printing to the Epson.

I now want to add the Canon. How do I do this? Also, I no longer have the
CD that came with the Canon. But I'm sure the driver is somewhere on my
desktop. I can't find it. I searched C drive (using *.drv) but nothing
looks correct. There must be a menu that shows the name/location of the
driver?

I am not sure how to proceed.

Download the software from Canon. Download the instructions from Canon.

As your printer connects to a USB port, the chain of programs which enable
the printing is a bit complicated. Most of the program usually reside in a
sub folder of \Program Files\
The only driver seems to be \Windows\System32\Drivers\usbprint.sys. Note
that you searched with the wrong extension. Usbprint.sys was written by
Microsoft.

My desktop has an Epson R1900, and the folder in \Program Files\... has a
number of programs and libraries for such. My desktop has an HP 5440, and
its folder also contains lots of files.
