Printer compatibility with XP

I have a Canon Multipass C5000 printer. XP does not provide drivers for it. Canon does not have a XP driver for it. Can I run the printer under a different version of Windows (while in XP)?

What I mean: If I right click a program icon, click properties and then click compatibility, I can get a program to run in another version of Windows. Can I do the same for printers?

Any help is appreciated.

You might try the W2K drivers if they are available. Can't hurt.

 

Thanks for the info. Canon doesn't make anything beyound Win 98 for the printer.

 

Try www.printer-drivers.com

I've found xp workable drivers for other older printers there

login is
username: drivers
password: all

 

Thanks for the info; I will try it!
