I just upgraded to Windows XP and there is no drivers for my Cannon printer. Do you have any suggestions on what to do. The Cannon website has other printers for XP but not mine. I have the Cannon BJC5100.

I would give the Win2K driver a try. Many times (although not always), if an XP-specific driver doesn't exist, the Win2K driver will work.

As answers 1 and 2 stated, try the W2K driver.

This is why you should alsways check the supported hardware list before upgrading asn operating system.

Many manufactures do not support equipment that is not "current" models with new drivers.Canon is not the only printer mfg with poor XP driver support for older models.
