Sharing printer from WinXP Mode to Windows 7
Hi all,
I have a Canon LBP-800 printer which only has driver support for XP.
So, after following instructions from this forum & the MS Eval Guide...I still haven't managed to get it working using XP Mode.
I've installed the printer in XP mode, shared it & then changed port to \\WINXPMODE\CanonLBP but this didn't come through to Windows 7. I can't print within XP mode either, although that's not a problem anyway.
Oddly, or maybe not, if I install the (not functioning) XP drivers in Windows 7 and change the port to \\WIN7\CanonLBP it does push it across to XP Mode using port TS0001.
Any help would be greatly appreciated...let me know if you need more info.
Thanks
