BJC 80 w/ Vista OS prints 1/2 page and goes to error mode.
BJC 80 is connected to Acer laptop with vista service pack 2, home edition O.S. Windows loaded the BJC 80 driver and the property settings are as follows: Ports, I selected the USB port and disabled the bi directional support as well as the enable printer pooling choices. Advanced Tab, I selected only the print directly to the printer option. Problem: Only one half of the document prints and the the printer goes into the error mode and stops printing. The printer status screen indicates an error-print with one document in queue. I tried a new parrell to USB printer cable but, got the same results. I would be most appreciative of any suggestions in solving this problem. A posting in a previous forum, with the same equipment and settings, reported that the printer performed perfectly.

Re: BJC 80 w/ Vista OS prints 1/2 page and goes to error...
Purchase a PCMCIA parallel port card. That's a PC Card parallel port adapter. It provides a native parallel port to laptops that do not have one built in. Works perfectly in ALL cases, even with the scanner cartridge.
I have a similar problem here. My Dell laptop with Vista 32b & Canon BJC80 printer was connected with USB to Parallel cable. With mine, it didn't even print half a page. It did print, but was printing what seemed like test pages but non stop.I have a similar problem here. My Dell laptop with Vista 32b & Canon BJC80 printer was connected with USB to Parallel cable.

I used BAFO BF-1284 USB to Parallel/36pin cable, because it was advertised as being compatible with both Window Vista & Canon BJC-80 model. But as it is not printing properly, would I need to purchase this PCMCIA parallel port card for my laptop to work?

1. Before upgrading to windows 7, you must check the specification of your acer aspire 5315.
2. Windows 7 is better than windows vista but if you are really wanted those acer programs to work. You have to downgrade your operating system from your previous operating system.
You may need to check to see which "service pack" you are currently on.
See below requirements:
System Software — Windows XP & Vista
Windows Vista Business or Ultimate Edition
32-bit OS Installation Only
Windows XP Professional or Home Edition
With Windows XP Service Pack 2 or Service Pack 3
Not Supported:
Windows Vista 64-bit (any version)
Windows XP Professional x64 Edition
Windows XP Media Center Edition
Windows 98, Me, 2000, NT, 95, 3.1, DOS
Not Tested:
Windows Vista Home and Home Premium Edition
Although Windows Vista Home and Home Premium Edition have not
been tested or qualified by Digidesign, there are currently no known
issues with Vista Home and Home Premium 32-bit operating systems and
Pro Tools M-Powered 7.4 compared to the supported Windows Vista
Business or Ultimate Edition operating systems.
Windows Vista SP1
There are currently no known issues with Service Pack 1 for Windows
Vista based on our initial limited testing and customer feedback.
Although full qualification with all Digidesign products has not been
completed, we do not recommend against updating to SP1, given the number of important overall system fixes in SP1. We do
recommend that you backup your system and create a restore point before
updating to SP1, should you encounter any problems after installing the
update.

USB to Parallel conversion requires translation by XP and Vista's
'hardware interleave' software as well as the USB device manufacturers driver.
The software package just doesn't work well with older peripherals that use
legacy parallel or serial com ports. Too many sloppy layers.
THE BEST WAY to add an LPT
printer port to your laptop is to use a PCMCIA to Parallel adapter card.
The PC Card slot provides access to the laptop's data bus, and the PC Card
adapter easily sets up as a native LPT port within almost any OS.
There is no delay, or connection problems as I've seen in so many
complaints about USB to Parallel or Legacy Serial adapters. Printing
is Instant.
PCMCIA is a mature standard, and works seamlessly with XP and Vista,
and almost any other OS.
PARALLEL is the old standard fast data protocol. IEEE 1284 ECP mode up to 1.5
Mbps.
The BJC-80 and the BJC-85 have the same print speed. The
BJC-85 just added USB.
INFRARED is ver 1.0 on the BJC-80, and printing is a bit slower at 115.2 kbps.
Even the BJC-85 with its higher IRDA transfer rating and a laptop's built-in IR
port, the XP print spooler has problems with it, and can hang if printing more
than one page, and especially with more than one document. It will not scan.
I use IR for printing single pagesonly
with either the BJC-80 or BJC-85.
USB to IRDA adapters work fine, and are less expensive $5-6
than
PCMCIA to Parallel adapters, $20-25.
I have tested and used several PCMCIA adapters from different manufacturers,
and they all work perfectly as a hot-pluggable, instant LPT and/or Legacy
Serial port for my laptops.
TIPS:
After installing the PC Card driver, check Device Manager for the LPT port
number. Install the printer manually from the list of printers, and select the
proper LPT port.
Most laptops have two PCMCIA slots. If you change slots, the
adapter card driver may reinstall, and assign the next available LPT port,
LPT2.
To scan with the BJC-80, you must have an LPT port.
The PC Card adapter also allows the use of the IS-12 scanner cartridge
within XP or Vista.
Within Vista, set the Canon ISScan software to run in
Windows 98 compatibility mode, to allow use of the TWAIN driver.

I'M USING MY BJC 80 ON A PACKARD BELL M35-U-57, VISTA HOME BASIC. CONNECTED THE PRINTER WITH A GENERIC USB-PARALELL CABLE, NO DRIVER. FIRST HAD THOSE 5 TO 7 MINUTES DELAYS FOR PRINTING. WENT TO THE PRINTERS "PROPERTIES", "ADVANCED OPTIONS" AND TICKED "PRINT DIRECTLY", IN THE "PORTS" SECTION I DISABLED "BIDERECTIONAL PORT". IT'S WORKING SWEET. NO MATTER THE QUALITY.
