As the title says. I have been using a Canon printer with my laptop using a
cable. I have recently got a new laptop which only has USB ports which are
uncompatible with my printer cable. I have tried an adaptor which didn't work
as Canon said it probably wouldn't & they cannot supply a suitable cable. The
printer is apparantly enabled with IrDA. My laptop runs XP, do I need to
install / download anything to make these devices compatable.

Any help greatly appreciated

Thanks

The printer may have infra red connectivity, but does the notebook?

I'm having a problem similar - trying to run a Canon BJC50 on the infrared
thru a Win XP laptop - other Win XP laptops can run this same Canon 50, this
laptop can run the 80, but not the 50 - what's the difference
