“Tales” about the fact that some driver from another manufacturer might come up immediately dropped, searches for an “alternative” 64-bit driver lead to pages located in the “dark gateways”. I considered it inappropriate to make a virtual machine with 32-bit Windows or even create a separate print server under it, although on the Internet all the discussions I have found on this issue end with just one of these two options. Personally, I have 3 Windows computers at home and all have a 64-bit version and at least 4GB of RAM. Why Canon decided that there can only be a 32-bit version of Windows at home is unknown to me. The LBP-1120 model is a clone of the Hewlett-Packard (HP) LaserJet 1100 (only it does not have “brains”, unlike the source), and the remaining models of the Canon Laser Shot family are built in the same way, which was positioned by the manufacturer as “home printers application ”. I tried many drivers from other Canon printers, universal drivers from the “Generic Drivers” section, HP LaserJet 2200, 2300 drivers - in all cases the printer does not respond to computer commands.Ī study of the instruction manual and bits of information on the forums gave the following: it is a GDI or winprinter printer, where all calculations when printing are performed by the driver on the computer’s processor itself, due to which a “brainless” printer is cheaper to manufacture (no processor and large memory required). I went to the site of the printer manufacturer - for this model, drivers are available starting with Windows XP, but only for 32-bit versions. I tried to connect it to my computer with Windows 7 圆4 - Windows Update could not pull up the drivers. They gave it to me with the explanation “something cannot be connected, probably the drivers are buggy”. I got an old Canon Laser Shot LBP-1120 printer for free.
