Hi guys n gals

I have a home network here of 3 PCs - mine was Vista Home Premium 32 - my
brother's still Vista 32 - my sister's Win XP 32.
I have a Canon iP4500 printer which I shared over the LAN (and it was easy
to do so) but I've upgraded to Windows 7 64bit
and setting up the printer sharing is a nightmare. I've emailed Canon and
they replied that the ip4500 is not a network printer (whatever that means!)
and pointed me to a file download. No instructions were included so I
downloaded and ran the file but I see no difference at all - no extra
options and still no printer sharing.

Obviously I've sent Canon and rather terse reply - I've got a camera,
printer and scanner from them and this is the first time Ive had to trouble
them for help and this is the level of support I get!

Can you guys help please?

Just to clarify the Canon iP4500 is connected by USB to your comp which is
now running Win 7.

Are you wireless or wired LAN.

A network printer is one that either connects to the LAN by wire or has a
warless card inside so it needs no physical connection from any comp.

How is yours connected.

warless = wireless

thanks Jef - yes the iP4500 is connected to my PC by USB cable and the
network is wired via a Linksys router.
I've 64 bit drivers installed that came with Win7 and there is an option to
install x86 drivers but when I try that option and browse to the
Installation CD that came with the Printer I hit a brick wall - it just
cannot find or install drivers. The file that Canon directed me to isnt a
driver file - its vaguely says something about added functionality but its
doesnt seem to do a damn thing.
