| 243983 | 2004-06-13 03:29:00 | Running Win2000 and today wanted to install a Cannon BJC4000 printer. Setup went OK, asking for all 4 installation disks in turn, but on clicking the finish installation screen, I am told, to the effect, that this equipment has been tested but I do not have a digital signature for the software. OK go to MS update site, thinking a simple download would cure the problem, but oh no I found nothing significant at all to help. Anyone got any clues on how I obtain the digital signature? There have been times when I regretted dumping WinME and this is one of them. I know the Cannon BJC4000 is not the latest and greatest but it worked damned fine with ME. |

| 243984 | 2004-06-13 03:35:00 | Doesn't it give you a choice of using the software, despite the lack of a digital signature? It ought to. :D It's not something you can get from Microsoft. A digital signatuire would be attachedby Canon, to "say" that this particular software was provided by Canon, not some nasty "other person".;-) |

| 243985 | 2004-06-13 03:49:00 | Yeah Graham L, I was offered a choice and elected to proceed without the signature, but it ended with no signature- no printer. I don't really understand - the 4 disks are Cannon origionals (?), so would it not be logical for Cannon to include the signature on one (or all) of the disks? This ain't looking too good - guess it's off to the Cannon site to wander around like a small child on a dark night trying to find - in this case- a bloody digital signature :-) Hey but thanks for the really prompt reply. |

| 243986 | 2004-06-13 04:01:00 | Canon would have included the signature on those disks if it had been required by Microsoft (to be able to say "Made for Windows) when they made the printer and those disks. :D This is a later requirement. But even MS have had to allow you to load software without the sig. So it should have worked. There may be later software available from Canon, which would have the signature. |

| 243987 | 2004-06-13 05:48:00 | You may be out of luck based on my experience with a Canon printer (BJC 4200??) some years ago. We had to scrap it, as Canon refused to provide updated drivers to handle 32 bit operating systems. It was not that old at the time either. I do not see any drivers guaranteed to work on yours other than Win 3.1/95/98/ME (16 bit probably) being available. |
