Hello,

I have a canon i865-printer normaly connected to my w2k file/printer server.
When trying to install that printer under vista 64 bit, that is to be
reported impossible do to no compatible driver.

However when connecting the printer locally, vista identifies the printer,
and installs
drivers, No problem :>

Any one a sollution
 
Try installing the driver locally on the Vista box, and then connecting to
the printer remotely. Normally when using a remote printer, the printer setup
will try to grab the driver from the remote box, since the remote box is
running Win2k, this probably wont work well.

If that doesn't work, connect the printer to the Vista box and try to print
remotely from the 2k pc
 
Hello,

I think I could solve this problem if I could use the vista i865 driver,
whixh is also
used if I connect the i865 locally.

So I have been looking for .inf files in the vista directorys, but I can not
find any inf file which look likes a i865 setup file.

Any one an idea?
