According to Canon Tech Support--spoke to the manager -- no Canon
Printer is compatible with XP Pro's and Vista Business's Remote Desktop.
Since their printer drivers are made in Japan, the manager of inkjet
support told me all he could do was forward my request to the highest
level here in America with the suggestion of supporting the Remote
desktop.

I even tried Black Ice's Print2XP (the cost is over $100 and no phone
support) which is supposed to create a virtual printer days ago but
cannot get it to work --their email tech support has not answered in 4
days.

Does anyone know a way to get my PC at work which uses Vista Business
to list my Canon Printer so I am able to print documents that are on my
work machine and on my Novell Network of which I am the Admin? My home
machine has XP Pro.

When I had the Epson 980 Printer, using Windows 2000 at home and XP Pro
at work, the printer was recognized on my work PC and I had no problems
printing.

Thanks in advance,


B.S.

If the manufacturer says it won't work, that would pretty much be the
definitive answer.

A few extra steps, but you could try installing a free PDF creator,
create the PDF and transfer it to the machine which is actually doing
the printing.

It's a pain, and not a complete solution, but it might do the trick.
