Can't find a driver for Canon PIXMA ip5000 printer for Win7 Pro x64

[RSTG]

Can't someone help me find a Canon PIXMA ip5000 printer .INF file for Win7 Pro x64 ? The Canon website has an Add-on driver for the Canon PIXMA ip5000 printer, but indicates that Windows Update under Win7 Pro x64 has a driver for the Canon PIXMA ip5000 printer (which it does not). Windows Update has a driver in its list for the ip5300 but none for the ip5000. Help !

Why not try the Canon site?
Canon U.S.A. : Support & Drivers : PIXMA iP5000
However, the statement on that site

Printer Driver Add-On Module Ver.1.10 (Windows 7/7 x64)
07/20/11 4.10 MB File Name: aomwin110ea23us.exe

This software is a module that expands the functionality of the printer driver for Canon Inkjet printers. Your printer must be installed via Microsoft Update before you download and use this module. By installing this software, you can use the printer...

seems to rely upon Windows Update having the drivers.
If you can't get them you might try changing the Operating System on the above link to Vista 64-bit. It's a considerably larger file and looks like a copy of the original disc for the printer. Otherwise you may be shopping for a new printer.

One other thing that may negate all this, just because your EXACT model number is not listed it usually is because it is part of a Series so the Canon PIXMA ip5000 will probably work, have to be more aware of how things are described versus how the marketing/production of things are done.
