Fix the reason that DEP gets called. There are many time that number of
users who are quite able to perform this task with DEP enabled.
You are trying to shoot the messenger.

I know. The reason is Canon driver from year 2000 or something, pre XP SP2,
like that. Canon dont provide new drivers to this printer model anymore...

Then could you remove that printer driver and install the one for the
individual printers? Or are the individual printers the same Canon?

The problem is with the individual driver(=local printer). Network printers
work fine.

OK, but are those the Canon drivers? What make/model is involved with
the local printers? Are the Canon printers network or local?

The same reason why perfectly functioning hardware becomes unusable:
because the manufacturer doesn't provide a driver for later versions
of operating systems and the old driver versions don't work on the
later versions of operating systems. Get newer hardware. Network the
printer that is connected to a host for which a good driver is
available for the OS that runs on that host. If the old hardware's
manufacture doesn't provide a driver for a later OS, that manufacturer
is the one screwing you over since it is not the responsibility but
rather a convenience that an OS supplies any hardware drivers beyond
very generic ones that manage to get the OS installed.
