Driver for Canon LBP 2900 (Vista 64 bit)

I am looking for any print driver for the lbp2900 canon printer on Vista
64 bit (Vista Ultimate). I know that the question has been raised
before, but I could not find an answer..

I would greatly appreciate any help..any ideas of other drivers that
might be working

many thanks in advance.

Unless Canon has a driver on their web site, there will be none.

Your model printer, LBP-2900, is not recognized on the Canon USA site.

The drivers need to come from Canon. If they are not listed on the site,
it's time to buy a new printer. But, sometimes, if you find a printer with
very similar specs, that driver will work, but not always. Good luck.

I should have been more specific: the op has a supposed newer Canon
printer that is not recognized on the Canon USA site; he has the wrong
printer model.

Habla Espanol?

Same problem, it seems that CANON does not support Vista64 for LBP2900.
The funny thing is that I bought this printer yesterday .... because it is practically as the HP1010 of which I was very content but is not supported by vista ...

Does anybody know if Canon is going to support 64 bit?

Meanwhile I am searching to understand here and in case let U know.

How the hell is anyone here gonna know that!?

Update.
Went this morning to the retailer. They change the Canon with an HP which supports Vista 64.

Good news for me, unfortunately not for all.
