Had same problem with PIXMA IP4000 trying to share from Win7 64bit to Win7 32bit. This solution worked for me:
"To solve this, use notepad to edit the .inf file of the downloaded driver. In it, there are 3 locations where the printer is described as 'Canon ip4500 series'. Add the word 'Inkjet' to it at the right place and try again. It worked for me."
Effing frustrating, considering the 32bit machine could connect to the printer via USB and print fine. The issue was only when trying to share through the 64bit machine that this stupidity occurred.
- I downloaded and ran the exe for the Add-On 32-bit version on my 64-bit machine.
- The
ip4000.inf
file to edit was then found in: C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\ip4000.inf_x86_neutral_51f411ebeaacaab1
I edited, and saved.
To add the 32bit driver, then I right-clicked on the already installed and working printer and chose Printer Properties
> Add Drivers
, enabled the 32-bit checkbox, and then pointed to the inf file I had modified. It installed.
Thanks for the tip.
For reference, this is what my ip4000.inf file looked like after it was edited:
