Windows 7 can not find .inf driver for Canon Pixma iP4000 printer connected to Windows XP.

I have a laptop running Windows 7 (64-bit machine) I want to print from.  The laptop is on a home network wireless.  The office is wireless as well and is running Windows XP.  The Office has a Canon Pixma iP4000 printer connected with a parallel cable.  I installed the latest XP drivers for the printer on the desktop.  The laptop can connect directly to the printer with a USB cable and drivers will download automatically and it will print correctly.  However, I can't connect the printer using the wireless system.  I can go on the laptop to the home network and navigate to the printer and try to install.  It makes an automatic search and says that it cannot find the correct drivers.  I can browse to the file to install on my desktop, but it of an .exe file and not. INF.  I run the .exe file and it installs too, but Setup of printer on the laptop won't let me not by the .inf screen add to complete the installation of a wireless printer.

Any suggestions?

Very probably the XP driver name is different from the name of 64-bit driver.  Create a Local Port which copies the data to the print size in Windows 7.

Here is an article knowledge base how to the names of the incompatible drivers.  Replace the Windows 7 machine for NT4 machine referenced in the article.

http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/282842

If you load the printer driver 32-bit on your 64-bit computer, you need the 32-bit driver for Windows 7.  You can do if you have a 32-bit computer of Windows 7 on the network to push pilots up to the machine that is sharing the printer.  None are flat files on the Windows 7 DVD, you need to install the OS or mount the ISO.

The key to successful sharing between computers that run different printing architecture processors is pilot name.  PCL6 equal NOT PCL 6.

  • Windows 7 64 bit laptop on wireless network can not find .inf wired for Canon Pixma iP4000 printer driver for windows 7 32 bit PC

    First of all, I read the thread on the laptop win 7 and win XP PC with attached IP4000.  I have just isn't helping me with that.  I am computer literate network, but I have to be dumbing down, so be specific in a response, you can give it.  Please, do not assume I know something just because it can be public knowledge.  Thank you for understanding my situation!

    New Win 7 64 bit laptop connected wireless to a network home through a Netgear WNDR3700 router.  Wired to the router, it is a PC with a USB attached printer Canon IP4000.  This printer has worked without problem with this PC for years.  Add the laptop.  Try to access the printer on the network (it is set to be shared on the PC) translates into an inability to find the driver for the printer.  On the Canon download site, I downloaded and installed on both machines the driver add-on 'aomwin110ea23us.exe '.  This does nothing to solve the problem.  Then, follow the suggestions in the thread referenced above, I downloaded installed 7 - zip and unzipped the file add-on from Canon.  Guess what? -There is no, zero, nada, stupid ".inf" file in there!  I understand that I need share on the PC to both x 32 and x 64, but without a valid .inf file to point to, I'm sunk.  And the same is true when you try to add the printer to the laptop - not to point to .inf file.  Is the only thing that I have not tried to install the printer directly to the laptop via the USB port, and it's because this is not a configuration that is usable for me.  The printer must be attached to the PC.  Is there anyone out there who can help me solve this dilemma?  Please do not give me an answer telling me to download the driver - usually you tell me precisely what driver and then guide me through the process.  Rest assured that I appreciate sincerely any help you can give me.  Thanks in advance!

    Most likely the name of the driver you are using on XP to share the printer a is not not the name of the 64-bit driver.  The pilots names must match in order to add the printer as a connection to the 64-bit computer using the normal RPC protocol.  You can configure the printer on 64-bit Windows 7 as a local printer that will basically copy the data from the printer to the format to share on the XP machine using SMB protocols.

    This is a Ko for incompatible drivers when connecting XP to NT4.  Replace your server / client configuration, but it's the same process.  Make sure that you are connected to the internet and select the Canon 64 bit driver available on Windows Update (use the Windows Update button in add printer) http://support.microsoft.com/kb/282842

  • Can not find the driver for my Satellite M40X-161 WLAN

    Hello

    I have a problem, I have the new system installed on my laptop - windows xp and I can't find a CD with drivers. I tried to download the drivers from the internet, but can not find the drivers for my laptop. I am looking for the drivers for the wireless card and it is not on Toshiba s page.

    There are only drivers for windows vista - I tried, but it did not work. The other problem is that I don't know is my wireless card. At the back of my laptop it has the info that I have peripheral radio ar5bmb-43, but I can not find the drivers for this device.

    Can someone help me to find drivers?
    Thanks in advance

    Unfortunately I wasn't able to find out what WLAN card is inside, but it must be Atheros or Intel, so I recommend you try to install the two drivers for Windows XP Home edition.

    Two of them you can find on http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/wlan/?page=downloads Portal Toshiba WLAN
    Try to install Windows XP Home version for Atheros 9.2.0.419.0 or Windows XP Home version 9.0.4.39 for Intel.

    Please post comments.

    Where can I find a driver for the Canon Powershot S300?

    If it exists, you can find it on the Canon website.

    But you don't need. You ever need connect your device directly. Just buy a USB drive to SD card (or any form of memory card your camera uses). They are very expensive - generally around 2 US $ on Amazon.com - and are very easy to use. I find them preferable to connect the camera. on the one hand it does not use the batteries of your camera.

    It is shared, not a network, printer, in order to put up with the TCP - IP option does not work.

    Thanks for any help you can provide.

    The name of the 32-bit driver is different from the name of 64-bit driver.  You create a Local Port which will basically copy the formatted print data from the part of xpmachine.

    This is the KB how to perform this task
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/282842

    on Windows 7
    Add a printer
    Local printer
    Add to the local path
    \\XPMACHINE\printersharename (make a word share name or you must ' "quote all)

    Select the installed driver if you have connected the USB device

    Complete the wizard
