Hi,
I installed,set up and made it work very easily "the USB Printer controller" programe on my Windows XP computer and it is working well but I couldn't make the same it on my
Windows 7 64 bit PC although they are all connected by ethernet cable to the same modem.

I tried a lot of things. I mean I have changed the ports, Ethernet cables, removed-installed the program, restart PC etc. but nothing has changed.
I can install the program but there is no printer in the list, its empty on Windows 7.
I also tried on "virtual xp mode" on Windows 7 but nothing happened.
My printer is Canon LBP 3010B which is suitable on the printer list.So what is the problem with Windows 7 64 pc? I don't understand.
Can you help me urgently?
Thanks in advance.

normally, "USB Printer controller" will work on Win7 system. You can refer following 2 FAQs to set up and check.

Hi,
Thank you for your reply.I have solved the problem.It is very interesting.The problem wasn't related to the connections or ports or else.Because of the anti virüs AVG2013 firewall, I couldn't use the USB Controller Utility. when I shut off the firewall of antivırus it Works.So I changed the virüs program and now it is OK.
Thanks for all.

It's quite common that some anti-virus software will block some functions. And I 'm also happy for you!
