Canon BJ-200 driver?

I have an old Canon BJ-200 bubble jet (black and white) which I wanted to
use in Vista Home premium 32 bit. It isn't listed in the driver list
specifically
(that I can see anyway) and using a generic window's driver prints a test page
fine, but printing from Works word processor the printer doesn't feed
properly, resulting in many lines being printed on the same line!

Canon have older drivers for earlier win versions. Anyone have any ideas on
getting a driver for Vista, please? (or something that will at least work!)

Try any of the older built in BJ drivers.... the 400 might be a good option.

Thanks Cari, sort of works using the 400 driver. Does print some printer
garbage at top of a page, feeds a couple of blank sheets, but then does print
a document ok.

At least I can print something until Canon come back to me with a better
driver option (if there is one in Vista, doubt they will update especially
for an old printer). Thanks for responding.
