My printer, Canon i560, is installed on one of my 64 bit Win 7 computers. I can share it with other 64 bit machines on my home network, but I am having trouble with my 32 bit Win 7 comps. The problem is that 7 installs the drivers for the printer automatically on the host comp, there is no Win 7 driver for this printer from Canon (only a driver extension). When I try to install the printer through the network from a 32 bit comp it asks for the 32 bit driver, but I can't get it from Canon, and it won't automatically install through 7.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Brad
