Canon LBP6650dn driver saga
After six working days of jumping through hoops, I have finally managed to install a brand new Canon LBP6650dn.
If anyone else is thinking of buying one in the UK, note that
(a) the supplied software disc is only compatible with Win 7 32bit
(b) Canon UK online and telephone support were basically no help and the drivers on the UK site do not work
(c) via a contact in Canon UK, I finally figured out the answer.
What you do is go to Canon U.S.A. : Consumer & Home Office : imageCLASS LBP6650dn
and follow the instructions.
This will install the printer as an "unspecified USB device".
Right click on that, run Windows troubleshooter, and when it tells you that the driver is missing, click on "Fix this problem".
Everything will then be sweetness and light - at least until you try to override the printer defaulting to single-sheet feed. But that's another story (which as yet has no end) ...
