The one and only reason for my looking at installing Win 7 is that it's
impossible to find
a new printer that works with anything older than XP. I have bought a
couple of "new"
ones from Craigs list that will run on Win 2000 and neither one lasted
longer than a week.
I'm disappointed I can't find a universal printer driver that will just
let me print.
Don't need to know how much ink is left or that paper is jammed. Just
send the signal to
the printer and print it out....
Not true. Many printers emulate the HP LaserJet II.
Additionally there is the PostScript Printer Software and associated PPD
files.
Thanks, Dave, but I don't understand the technical stuff. Any idea where
I could find a
Win2000 driver for a Canon printer that only comes with XP and higher
drivers?
If one chooses to maintain an archaic OS one must understand the technical
stuff. Just like if one wants to maintain an archaic automobile they must
become an auto mechanic understand the technical stuff.
If one buys modern retail printers they can't expect great support.
Buiness/Enterprise equipment on the otherhand are made with knowledge that a
business will hedge their investments and will maintain and service their
printers longer and thus will have a greater support level.
If this Canon is a modern retail printer you can not expect much out of it.
Additionally, if you want others to help you you have to provide the
information to them that can be used to help. You can't just write "Canon
printer". You have to provide the exact MODEL of a Canon printer.
If you want to maintain an archaic OS you may have to buy a printer that can
be supported by the OS.
