Trouble - Network Printer From Whs V1 And 64 Bit Client Machine

$

Hi folks,

 

Problems getting my Canon i865 network printer talking with a 64 bit client machine.

 

Basically, i865 installed on my home server (v1) with all drivers installed. Used to be able to use this no probs with a 32 bit XP client. However, now upgraded to Windows 8 64 bit.

 

Printer still installed on WHS, but add printer wizard gives problems when trying to download the driver from WHS (can't remeber specific errors - been trying that many things!).

 

Also tried manual route by create new port, but still same problems of incompatible drivers etc.

 

Unfortunately, looks like Canon don't do a specific 64 bit driver. Rather you install an older XP version and then an update "module" for 64 bit capabilities.

 

Can anyone give a simple guide on how to get this setup working? I remember a day when I used to like computers!

 

Thanks,


Steve
