Not sure were to put this?
I am looking for a driver for an old printer.Cannot find it on the cannon website and ringing them is being on hold for over an hour and then the runaround until they hang up.
Any way as any one used this site for Drivers is it safe?

You saved me you were right it was an infected file.
my search continues.

did you have the driver file on your pc before ?

cichlid child

No.
I have a laptop with windows 7 on it and the printer printed from it no problem.just plugged it into the usb and it worked.
Now have a new laptop with windows 8 and printer wont work and its saying no driver is installed.is there a way of finding were the driver is on windows 7 and copying it on to a usb stick?

jsa112

yeah that's what I was thinking. Do you know the name of the file ?

cichlid child

the win 7 laptop says the driver for the printer is cannon blt 3010.
I am unsure if that is the name of the driver

I meant do you know the exact file name, eg:

C:\windows\system32\drivers\wmilib.sys

if you do we can search for it

cichlid child

No I don't .Thanks for all your help and time. I think at this stage its a new printer. God I hate windows 8.

Cant offer much more help, you'd be better off posting in the "comp and technology" sub-forum I'd say.

and ofc be wary bout downloading anything online for this

We have the same problem with our new Windows 8 PC and our old Brother printer. The print queue just seems to stick with nothing printing. It's starting to get to the point of us throwing either the PC or the printer through the window!!!
