Canon 5100 BJC print driver issue?
This is a discussion about Canon 5100 BJC print driver issue? in the Windows Hardware category; Has anyone had any success using this printer with W2K, I cannot get the drivers for NT4 to install, and don't know what other drivers to use to emulate. All help is appreciated. I would assume that there are drivers for this thing somewhere, its a brand new printer model.

Try "search"ing the forum. It's been mentioned before, but I can't be arsed to find the link for you...
OP
No Solution was posted. I already did the search, and posted something several weeks in the same vein, and no one answered. Thanks for telling me though.
I just found out that the canon BJC 5100 printer driver for Win2000 will be released in May/2000. Check the oceanic web site for details. www.canon.com.au
got the Winnt-drivers install under Win2k,editing the printupg.inf like in the lexmark-hack. After clicking away the "spoolserv.exe has caused a fault"-msg and rebooting once the printer works fine under Win2k.
forgot to tell you! Something you may never ever do in this configuration is starting that "auto head alignment", this causues the printer and the complete printer-subsystem to go to nirwana !
Hey Bertl, could you please explain how you got the driver installed, I tried the hack and it does not install. Maybe I am forgetting something?
thanks
thanks
If you want, you can download my edited "printupg.inf" from freedrive: http://www.freedrive.com/ASP/PostFolderShortcut.asp?fsc=4234817
You will also need to get the driver BJC51KNT.EXE ( I can't remember exactly, but i think it's from the "canon.com"-site ), that's the one wich unpacks to a directory of your choice and it's to install with the printer-install-assistant.
Thanks alot Bertl. The printer installed with out an issue. I did not get any errors like you described. No reboot either. Thanks again, I can now get rid of my Win98 installation and change to the NTFS partition. The site for the NT4 driver is canon.com - North America.
