    Canon Driver


    It seems like this is an impossible task.

    I work at a non-profit (read: no budget) and our 3 computers crashed. We got a new laptop donated and everything is installed on it. However, we cannot find a driver for our copier:

    Canon GP 200

    Which supports Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit

    HELP!

    We cannot afford a new printer and everything is set aside from this... anyone?

    Hi sunnyslope, Welcome to the forums, I'm afraid doing a quick search failed to find a driver for the printer after 2005 and that was for win2000/XP Canon U.S.A. : Support & Drivers : GP200 you may be able to try to install these drivers in compatibility mode :)

    I'm not too familiar with compatibility mode... as I own a Mac for my personal use.

    Is there a place (web page) I can go for more information relating to this?

    I found that no drivers were released after 2005 myself.

    I'm at wit's end...

    I'm not getting anywhere in compatibility mode... states it is incompatible. Should I:

    a) Try to find a universal driver
    b) Downgrade the OS to XP?

    sunnyslope I dont think you will find a universal driver, you could try running the printer from XP mode within Win 7 Windows XP Mode - Install and Setup or partion the hard drive and dual boot win 7 with XP Dual Boot Installation with Windows 7 and XP hope this is of help to you :)

    power on your canon --start -type -"device manager" - look for image -your printer device status- update driver for w7

    you just need to update your printer driver to work

    But if you read all the thread you will see that Canon have not released a Win 7 driver for this printer. They probably consider it is too old.

    Thanks pebbly for those recommendations.

    Ideally, I wanted to be able to run the program in XP mode but we do not have a version of 7 that supports it.

    SO.... I'm going to try to install XP as well as it seems that is the last resort.
