Download USB drivers for Canon EOS Digital Rebel?

Archived from groups: rec.photo.digital (More info?)

Hi All,

I'm wondering if anyone knows if it's possible to download the drivers
/ software for the Canon EOS Digital Rebel? I'm finding it annoying to
have to keep swapping my wireless network card and my the card reader I
use to copy the pictures onto my laptop's harddrive. I've tried
connecting the camera to my laptop via a USB cable, but I get told I
don't have the appropriate driver, and my install CDs are back in
Australia.

I've looked at the Canon site, but all i can find is software to
upgrade an existing installation.
Any help very appreciated!

Much warmth,

planetthoughtful

What OS are you using? I have no problem with Windows XP but all sorts
of problems with Windows 2000 Pro even with the drivers installed.

Drivers here:

Otherwise, goto Canon's site (canon.com) -> Americas -> Downloads ->
Select camera -> Windows Drivers.

HTH,

Which OS are you using ? There are Windows drivers available from Canon's
site at http://consumer.usa.canon.com/ir/

If you have Linux, you don't need any driver. gphoto2 can download from
300D directly. GUI front end for gphoto2 is gtkam.

I downloaded the XP drivers and they work fine in Vista and Windows 7 32 bit!!!

I can certainly select and download images on my Win 7 32 bit system - the version of the EOS Utility I have installed says its V 2.6.1.0 and has a copyright statement saying Copyright 2006-9. I'm using an EOS Digital Rebel aka 300D.

On Win7 I messed around downloding and installing loads of drivers, even trying in XP Mode. Then I red about switching a setting on the camera (300D): on the Menu, set Communication to PTP (whatever it means). After making this change Win7 immedialtely recognised the camera as a removable device (NOT a USB device, therefore not needing the unavailable USB drivers - PTP seems to be built into Win7) and provided easy access to the data in the Canon, as well as comfortable downloading.

Very Good! This works on the 10D, too!

Try these steps. I had to write Canon for assistance, but it worked:

You maybe able to connect the camera and get it to work if you change
the communication mode of the camera. This does not always work with 64
bit versions of the OS.

You would need to have the camera in the print/ptp mode for it to be
seen by the computer:

1. Turn the camera on in the P, AV, TV, M, or A-DEP.
2. Push the MENU button.
3. Go to the second wrench and hammer menu.
4. Go down to communication.
5. Switch it from NORMAL to PRINT/PTP.
