due to loss of the CD i am using the windows driversw NOT the cannon ones .

I am haveing problems printing from dos apps (dont ask)

115965 2003-01-22 06:19:00 I'm guessing you are running from a Dos window (not DOS itself) since you have XP.
YOu need to get the correct drivers from www.cannon.com
install the printer, then click on the properties in the port settings there is a ms-dos compatability thing.
try that,
