Having changed my old IBM Windows 2000 laptop (which was showing its
age) for a Dell Inspiron 1300 using Windows XP Home I now find that
Canon do not have a driver that will allow the BJC-50 to function
under Win XP. I have a Canon BJIFC50 Half Pitch Parallel Cable on
back-order with the only British firm that appears to sell them.

Would far prefer to get the printer working via my IrDA adaptor.  Have
seen a couple of comments dated 2003 on various usergroups suggesting
various solutions but cannot fathom out how they have done it.

Am reasonably PC competent - prefering DOS to Windows in many
respoects. Can anyone help me get the printer working on infrared
again please?
