cnaon laser printer driver nightmare

LBP-1210 doesnt work - job spools but nothing happens
tried the printer with LPT1 as well as usb
pretty sure its got to do with DEP
cant find the executable in the dep dialogue area
have installed the canon [so called] vista driver
canon wont help
there are few results in google re this machine and i think it is a
canon flash in the pan release from around 4 years ago

any ideas?
can you turn dep off
thnx in advance
