XP & Canon Multipass C5500 - Service Pack 2???
I found out that the problem is not with the parallel to USB cable. The problem is that the Multipass C5500 will not work with XP Service Pack 2. Canon specifically states that it is incompatible. Is there any way around this?!

I got a Canon Multipass c5500 and saw that it had a parallel cable connector - so I got a parallel to USB cable as my pc doesn't have a parallel port. When I plug in the USB cable, my computer tells me that it has found new hardware - and tells me that it is the Canon Multipass C5500 printer. I install the software, but I still can't use it. Every time my computer boots up, the Multipass Desktop software tells me that it can't connect to the C5500, but the "install new hardware" window comes up.
Anyone have any ideas on how to remedy this???
