| 144614 | 2003-05-15 22:25:00 | Is it a fact of life that my old, well not that old, Canon MPC 20 printer/fax and windows xp will never be united as there is no xp printer driver for an MPC20, or is there some way past this problem. Thanks for any suggestions or bad news. Andy. |

Either get another printer, or install the recommended operating system, and - in the future check whether devices are supported before installing an operating system .

| 144618 | 2003-05-15 23:59:00 | Ah, Pull ya head in Merlin. Why ask the Obvious? Well, for starters its not obvious. Driver hunting is new to some people, and everybody has to start somewhere. I have a TV tuner that's been deemed incompatible with Win98, but yet I have it going perfect. I have a graphics card that is not multi-monitor compatible with AGP cards - Yet I have it working. Where there's a will, there's a way. If there isnt, get somebody to program you one. Ive done upgrades before that 'shouldnt' have worked wiith XP yet they do, so please, have a heart! |

| 144619 | 2003-05-16 01:57:00 | Been playing with linux on a p233 with 128... Linux didnt click with me so i put xp on it... it only just works... but... This puter came with an epson printer... that had no valid xp drivers... so i went throught the list of drivers that get shiped with xp... (Device manager > view > show hidden devices > "your printer" > update drivers > then look thru the driver list....) and asigned it another epson driver... it warned me not to do this... but i got my printer working..... Sweet as.... Also had to do this with a modem on win2000 Good old 'old' hardware... |

| 144620 | 2003-05-16 01:58:00 | Well thanks for your Helpful comments Merlin (NOT), I already knew all that useless information but as I have found in the past there are some people who are ingenious enough to get past these little problems. I guess you're one of the few who can't be classified as ingenious....ha ha. | kiwicantab (3800) | ||
| 144621 | 2003-05-16 02:03:00 | Thanks for the support. | kiwicantab (3800) | ||
| 144622 | 2003-05-16 03:06:00 | This is the reason I will not buy Canon product if I have a choice . Have had the same issue with a very expensive large format printer, that was unuseable on 32 bit Windows platforms . The drivers were for 16 bit OS only, and within a year the company upgraded all IT systems, only to find that the driver would not operate correctly . Canon did not want to know, and the product was specific to Australasia so we were effectively told "Tough" Needless to say we never bought another Canon product, and changed to HP . They consistently upgraded drivers for new operating systems . |

You cant simply say 'Today I will be brilliant.'" --Captain James Kirk, "The Ultimate Computer" And yes, GodFather > I agree that HP do put out some very good printers and upgrade the drivers to suit. However, Canon were very quick in the printer market, and I think a while back a lot of people were buying Canon. I believe now most people will not purchase a Canon printer, but HP and a number of others are becoming increasingly popular :-) |
