Download USB drivers for Canon EOS Digital Rebel?

Hi All,

I'm wondering if anyone knows if it's possible to download the drivers
/ software for the Canon EOS Digital Rebel? I'm finding it annoying to
have to keep swapping my wireless network card and my the card reader I
use to copy the pictures onto my laptop's harddrive. I've tried
connecting the camera to my laptop via a USB cable, but I get told I
don't have the appropriate driver, and my install CDs are back in
Australia.

I've looked at the Canon site, but all i can find is software to
upgrade an existing installation.
Any help very appreciated!

Much warmth,

What OS are you using? I have no problem with Windows XP but all sorts
of problems with Windows 2000 Pro even with the drivers installed.

Otherwise, goto Canon's site (canon.com) - Americas - Downloads -
Select camera - Windows Drivers.

Consider buying a usb 2.0 card reader for compact flash cards. Not
expensive, will have its own driver, is portable between machines, and
is a helluva lot faster than the usb 1.1 interface in the 300D. That's
providing your laptop is usb 2.0 capable. But even if not, the card
reader is still a good choice. Beats plugging in the camera and
flattening its battery. It's what I do here.

Which OS are you using ? There are Windows drivers available from Canon's
site at http://consumer.usa.canon.com/ir/

If you have Linux, you don't need any driver. gphoto2 can download from
300D directly. GUI front end for gphoto2 is gtkam.
