[QUOTE="SugarFree, post: 209666, member: 10316"] First, thank you for all the time and effort you've spent trying to help me. I truly appreciate it. There have been some interesting developments today. 1. You wrote: you have the htpc connected wirelessly to router. No, it's directly connected to the router, and the S750 is plugged into a USB port. On the htcp (32-bit), for some strange reason the S750 is listed as Canon S750 (copy 1). The new HP laptop (64-bit) is, of course, connected to the network via WiFi. I believe it's copy 1 because the original htpc hard drive failed a few years ago, and installed a new SSD drive and ... brought things over? Can't remember. 2. I turned off htpc this morning. Unplugged the printer and plugged it into the laptop. Windows immediately found the driver, installed it (as just plain Canon S750), made it default printer -- and it works perfectly when plugged in there. For good measure I downloaded and added the aomwin110ea23us add-on module you found on the Canon page. 3. The fpdrivers page does not, in fact, contain the driver. It too contains the add-on module. The file name there is aomwin110ea23us - same size. If you hunt for the 32-bit driver it shows the exact same file. I believe they may have simply copied the add-on from Canon's page, *thinking* (as you originally did) that it's the driver file. So. Plugged into the htpc, the printer works. Plugged into the laptop, it works. Where it does not work is trying to use it -- as I did effortlessly on my former laptop -- while it remains plugged into the htpc. HP Elite support was on with me for several hours (doing other stuff as well, because I added an SSD drive to it), but no matter how many times we tried to 'add a device' - and each time the laptop correctly 'saw' and identified S750 copy 1 on the htpc, we always got the same error message: Cannot find the .inf file on the NETWORK. We tried browsing to all the S750 .inf files we could find, on the laptop (brought over from the old laptop hard drive, which I salvaged) or on the htpc. Absolutely no joy. Part of me is wondering about that Copy 1 thing, which I never thought about before. What would happen if I deleted it from the htpc - and then simply plugged it in. I'm guessing Windows would simply use the generic drivers as it did this morning on the laptop? I'm just afraid of doing that and then not be able to use it at all. Would like to hear your thoughts on this. Oh, and can't use the groovypost idea because I refuse to turn on Auto Update. One of the two reasons I won't upgrade to WIN 10, the key for which came with this laptop. Again, thanks for your help!! [/QUOTE]
