Well, up to now I've emailed about 85 Canon offices and distributors around the world and the response is always the same, no drivers
available, try the Windows 2000 drivers. What I don't understand is that if the Win2K drivers are so close to working why doesn't Canon just tweak them a bit!! If you have any high level contacts with
Canon, please show them the petition. Thank you.

Someone has posted comments in the petition saying they have written XP drivers. I have looked at the drivers briefly and discovered it
contains spyware (CyDoor). I'm trying to get more information about it. Beware of these drivers.

I hooked up my BJC-5000 to another computer running Windows Me and share it over the network. This is working fine but would really like
