I'm trying to install a Canon Pixma ip4600 printer on a remote site. The printer is connected to a Windows XP machine and shared in the network...

When I try and connect to it, from a Windows 7 64-bit machine - Windows says that there isn't a driver available and it needs to search for one...

I looked on the Canon site, but they only had "additional features" driver, which expands upon the default driver, but the default driver isn't available. Is there a way to get around this? Windows 7 isn't given me the option to search through its database of know printers, like previous versions used to, just to point to the location on disk, where the driver is stored!

Use the Canon Vista driver
