Okay so this may not help you now, but I just got a hand me down D780. After much frustration and research here's the solution that I was able to work with. It isn't perfect; but it's something....

So here are the steps for network shared installation; assuming your D780 is installed on an old xp desktop and you're using a Win-7 laptop. If you're using the printer directly on your Win-7 machine, just use the local printer installation after the XP mode has been installed.

1) You'll have to install WinXP mode on Win-7 using the steps listed on this link. If you have a genuine Win-7 copy installed, this download and installation is free, courtesy Microsoft.

http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/products/features/windows-xp-mode

2) After installation, you'll have to change network settings for your virtual pc. This step is necessary if you want to be on the same home network and want to see the printer! Never mind if you don't understand this logic. Just follow the steps and you'll do just fine. To change the network settings in vPC: click Tools; click Settings; select Network from left; then for Adapter 1 choose the actual network adapter connected to your router (simply put: select the wireless adapter or wired adapter you're using to connect to your actual router or home network. You can find that from Change Adapter Settings in Network and Sharing.) Click Ok.

3) Now add the printer as local or networked following your usual XP steps. You should be able to see the printer. If not, open a command prompt window, check your ip to make sure you're on same network. If not, or if you don't know how to do that, just type in ipconfig /release enter and then ipconfig /renew enter. Try to connect to the shared printer by pinging the ip of the host computer. If the ping works, you should be able to see the printer then.

Connect printer and use in XP mode. Not the best solution, I know. But it's free and at least lets you print from your laptop, given the circumstances.

SOURCE: Vista 32-bit driver for MF3110

Hi,

Go to Canon MF3110 Support

If the Drivers & Downloads tab is not selected, click on it.

From the drop down menu, select your Operating System (Vista).

A link will appear in red in the Drivers block that appears. Click on the link to download it. The best thing to do is to select Save when the download window opens and save it to your Desktop. You can then begin the installation once the download is complete.

The Setup Guide is also on that same download page if you need it. Just remember when it says to insert the CD, just double-click the file on the desktop.

Thanks for using Fixya.

I switched to Windows 7 64 Bit, and i know i have to install the 64 bit driver from the Canon page. But when i dowloaded the file and open the unzipped folder, there was no .exe . Its driving me crazy...

The drivers may not be self installing. Are there any **.inf files? These are what tell your pc what to do.
When you add printer,you need to navigate to the folder where these files are (choose Have Disk option) when you reach the point of asking which driver during install. Then you will see a list of printers supported by these files, pick yours out and continue.
