Canon MultiPass C5000 On a Network
"Jim Kelly" wrote in message gy.com... Does anyone know if it's possible to share a Cannon MultiPass C5000 on a peer to peer network (Windows ME)? I've tried but print jobs from the remote computer don't print. The jobs show up in the Canon's document queue on the host computer as "spooling" for a few seconds, but nothing happens at the printer. It may have something to do with the "background" program which seems to stand between the host computer and its parallel port. I've set up an HP printer in the network with no problem. Jim Kelly The MuttiPASS software is an issue, You could try using the BJC-4200 driver on the remote workstation. or if you need to print set the MPC5000 is Printer mode FUNCTION 0 Use until DOS PRINT Press START twice and Turn off the MultiPASS software Use the BJC-4200 print driver to print |

Thanks, Russ. But the BJC 4200 driver didn't work and the second procedure you gave is more trouble than it's worth. You might be interested in the incredible answer I received from Canon on this problem: Dear Mr. Kelly, Thank you for writing to us. Unfortunately, Canon does not support the configuration you have inquired about. This is not to say the setup will not work, but that Canon cannot provide assistance on this configuration. Canon has found that network/print server/print sharing environments do not function with 100% compliance to Canon compatibility standards. We apologize for the inconvenience this may cause. Sincerely, Jimmy Product Support Representative In other words, if you want a network printer, forget about Canon! Jim Kelly "Russ Wright" *NO*SPAM* wrote in message ...

We have a Canon Multipass L6000 shared on a Win98 peer to peer
network. Works great. The only wproblem we have with it is I can't get it to share to WinXP, even with the new drivers. Paul On Sat, 28 Jun 2003 20:52:20 GMT, "Jim Kelly" babbled: Thanks, Russ.

Everyone:
In fairnees to Canon, I'm sending you a recent reply I received. My MultiPASS C5000 is an older model: Dear Jim, Thank you for your reply. Current model units are networkable through sharing of the unit. The older models were not designed for network use, and are not network compatible.
