Hi, new laptop running Vista Home Premium, bought USB to Parallel converter cable (Belkin) but can't get the printer working? Downloaded latest (W2000/XP) driver from Canon but to no avail. Any ideas out there?

-   Dear Friend,
I have the same problem. I contacted canon personnel by email and got a rude answer that they have no plans to write a driver for vista. i think that a generic driver for low and medium volume lasre printers is a solution. I am using vista enterprise and i have drivers for everything except my canon lbp-800 printer. I shall let you know as soon as i find an answer to this enigma.

Just a quick note to say this is what Canon have to say...

Dear Customer,


Thank you for your recent enquiry regarding your Canon product.

In response to your query, please be advised that this printer is not compatible with this operating system.



Yours sincerely,

Canon Support Centre

And my reply...
Dear Canon Support Centre, Thanks very much, you really do deserve the name Support. In my original email I said I knew there was no driver available at present, but could you tell me If or When you might make one available. Therefore I already Knew that you didn't have a driver available for this printer. And it only took you 3 days to tell me this. Now back to original question which still remains un-answered; (and please concentrate) When or If you are going to make a driver available for the LBP-800 ??? Thank You Aaron Pain.

To solve this problem i used VMWare with Windows XP (also Ubuntu worked fine):
1. Install LBP-800 on vistual PC use real LPT1 and virtual one.
2. Set Cannon LBP-800 share mode.
3. Setup workgroup network:  my real computer and virtual.
4. Install LBP-800 on my real PC as a network printer
