Driver for Canon ip1500 printer?

Ja, will probably do that sometime Train. I dont really use the printer for much else but the basics so I'm in no rush, but the add-ons might be useful

Thanks for adding the info and welcome to W7forums. And Merry Christmas

Just an update from someone else with the same problem:

On Windows 7 64-bit:

• Windows didn't find the driver itself automatically (locally or from the internet).
• Windows Update didn't find a driver.
• The printer isn't listed when you manually browse the built-in drivers. Other Pixma printers are (like the ip1300 and ip2000).
• Restarting with or without the printer plugged in doesn't help/result in finding the driver.
• None of the files on the canon site for Vista en 7 seems to add support (installed them all, restarted and replugged multiple times). As Tathra inelegantly says, they are for and "add on module" for the driver, which needs the real driver to be there and the "Photoprinter EX" software in multiple versions, which starts whining you haven't installed a printer when you start it after installation (all versions).

What does work: The windows XP (64-bit) drivers linked by "realkato" thanks!

But Owlmerlyn got it working magically!: I think he never told which version of Windows 7 he was using. I know something about writing drivers, and 64-bit drivers are very different from 32-bit drivers, which is why many devices never even did get 64-bit drivers. In many cases a 32-bit windows version automatically finds the right driver while the 64-bit does not, possibly what happened in this case. The other possibility is of course that Canon made some mistake, not really unheard of

I just registered to say thank you to realkato, blackdragon and the threadstarter tathra. But then I also registered to say, that I read through all posts, and that the many brats and idiots who posted wrong stuff should really be haven taken away their computers so the world will be spared their time wasting rubbish. And I did this all on a 8kBit connection. And the rubbsih costed me at least 40 minutes. I just hope thatra got help from some better forum than this here.

And just to add it: You might need to run the MyPrinter Add On after the installation. Because during the installation of the driver linked by realkato you probably have to select a connection manually, but at least for me there was no selection "USB". ............... Runnung the "My Printer" software afterwards and selecting Diagnostic and Repair fixed that. .......................... (Currently printing!)
