Hello,

I have just installed Vista 64bit ultimate on my main desk top which has a Canon Pixma IP5000 hooked to it. I didn't have to even install the driver for it since vista already found the driver in its driver pool I guess.. The problem is, I have a note book that runs XP pro 32 bit that connects to the Vista machine via router with an Ethernet cable and it can't seem to find the right driver for the printer. When I was running XP on my desk top, the notebook XP seemed to just copy the driver files from my desk top XP and be ready for printing without a problem, but that isn't the case anymore now.

I tried installing "additional drivers" that I originally had when I was using XP on my desk top as shown here...

But that error is all I get. I tried downloading the most updated XP 32 bit driver from the Canon website but get the same exact error. Anyone has a fix for this? I would greatly appreciate your input.
 
sorry... double post.
Could an admin lock one of these posts or delete it?
Again I apologize.
