I'm afraid, the short answer in NO!

You are going to need to switch to a Vista compatible printer, or somehow, strong-arm Canon into releasing a Vista compatible driver for your printer & this is flat-out impossible.

Considering this printer is about 5 years old, Canon is not about to supply drivers for it.
A new printer would be cheap enough, probably about the same as replacement ink for the old one.
In Australia a new multifunction Canon goes from about $48 Au ($42 US)

Hi Sabertooth

Yes, you are very right they do not have the driver for this printer as I have contacted canon and they advise me to upgrade to a new one. Anyway, thank you for taking the time to advise me. Much appreciated. Bye.

Regards,
Jenny
