I have a Canon I70 printer and am using it with my Toshiba 5100 laptop
running Home XP SP2.
It prints fine via the USB port. However I want to use the IRDA port. I
cannot print Word and Excel documents via the IRDA port. When I try the i70
spits out pages of garbage - just random gibberish.
I can print a .txt document made with Notepad via the IRDA fine, so the
communication appears
to be ok.
I reinstalled the latest Canon drivers as per their instructions. I have
the latest drivers for my Toshiba.
I'd really like to get the IRDA working for Word and Excel documents so
I'd appreciate any advice.
thanks
