XP drivers for a Canon MultiPass 3500

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.hardware (More info?)

I have tried everything that Canon says to do and
what Microsoft says to do. Every time I install the XP
drivers for the multipass the system takes it as drivers
for Win-2000 and for NT. It will not acknowledge them as
for XP. So overall the printer will not work with XP Home.
Does anyone know of anything that may help to make it
work? I hate the printer itself but I also hate XP-
nothing but problems one after another.

No one, but I pay for this bandwidth, not to have MPT eat it up on the
off-topic stuff that she flips on other users for doing. This is
microsoft.public.windowsxp.hardware not her chat room.

It is also hypocritcal of you to say this to me, when I'm responding to a
user that bosses other users around in an obscene manner.

NT5.1 is the alternative name for WindowsXP.

Call Microsoft for the hotfix as per Alan Morris's posting:
Pickup the tcpip.sys file available from MS. There is not a fee for this

http://support.microsoft.com/defau [...] -us;884020
Programs that connect to IP addresses that are in the loopback address range
may not work as you expect in Windows XP Service Pack 2
