canon bcj-5000 with xp sp2 oem
have windows xp sp2 install and trying to install canon bcj-5000 with the 2k
pro drivers from the canon website. the installation is fine until you try to print a test page and then it fails to communicate. i have the port configured in bios as ecp printer port and driver for the port reinstalled. tried ecp/epp initially and that did not work either. also tried having the port driven as a "standard printer port" in xp and that failed, even though that did work with this printer in a win98se install on my other machine previously. question is, has anyone had one of these printers work with either xp pro or xp pro sp2 either connected through a iee 1284 print cable to a parallel port or one of those adapter print cables that plug into usb? i did try to use a driver for bcj-5100, that also failed during installation. there does appear to be partial function, the printer does remember to turn itself off, which was a feature enabled before when it was hooked to the other rig. i also did kb884020, since that was mentioned in other canon related posts. If anyone has used one of these with xppro sp2 please post back. |

canon bcj-5000 with xp sp2 oem
It's one of the few printers known to be problematical with XP.

canon bcj-5000 with xp sp2 oem
good call, Cari. that worked great. of course a thousand years from now
digital anthropologists will wonder why my asus a7n8x deluxe with sata raid and a gig of uber corsair ram had it's parallel port set to "spp", but once they dig up the indestructible canon they'll know why. thanks for remembering that.

You're welcome Steve.. I had trouble with my VIVO part of my FX5700
today.... until I remembered that I actually capture analog video once in a blue moon so it really didn't matter. It was just the principal of the thing! -- Cari (MS-MVP) Printing & Imaging In Loving Memory of our dear friend Alex Nichol MVP "steve t" wrote in message ... good call, Cari. that worked great. of course a thousand years from now digital anthropologists will wonder why my asus a7n8x deluxe with sata raid and a gig of uber corsair ram had it's parallel port set to "spp", but once they dig up the indestructible canon they'll know why. thanks for remembering that. |
