Canon BJC-5000 and 5100 are not supported in XP. There are a few
workarounds, detailed out at
http://www.carletonmacgregor.com/html/canon_bjc-5000_5100_windows_xp.html
But it's mainly known as a doorstop these days. Sorry to be the bearer of
bad news. It's just one of those things.... there are only a couple of
Canon printers that will not work correctly - you just happen to have one of
them.

There aren't any! BJC-5000 and 5100 are two of the very few printers from
Canon that are not supported on XP..... they did not sell in vast numbers
and Canon did not feel it economically viable to write updated drivers.
Those few folks who still have them of course feel very aggrieved because
they like the wide carriage (letter sized paper sideways).... on the
downside, they use the old BC-20 and 21e (tricolor) inks which are really
expensive to replace.
Most folks who need the wide printing ability have switched to the i9000,
i9100 and i9500 which use the BCI-6 inks and are much more economical to
replace (separate ink tanks for each color and include photo cyan and photo
magenta giving much better results on photo images)... however there will
always be a few hangers-on who refuse to update their printers.
The average replacement period for a PC is two years. The average
replacement period for a printer is seven years. Considering how much
better and fasters printers have become in the last couple of years, I do
find it strange that they stick to their old slow models with the very
expensive ink cartridges, but you can't change people's minds all the time -
even though we try our best to encourage them to move on!
