Installing drivers on Windows 8.1 x64 turned out to be really easy despite the fact that the Canon site does not offer them: just install the “Windows Vista (64-bit)” drivers from this Canon link: [Wayback] PIXMA mini260 – Canon Europe.
This works as the printer driver model hasn’t changed much since Vista and the Vista drivers do not contain limits on future version numbers (see [Wayback] Getting older Windows drivers to work in Windows 8 for another example).
Kijk je naar de MX200 vs Evo 850 dan krijg je bij Samsung 5 ipv 3 jaar garantie, significant betere prestaties en een software suite met onder andere secure erase, overprovisioning en 1click optimalzatie settings voor Windows.

Original post with embedded links and edited for readablity:
This week, a new visualisation of the 6502, upcycled from an old favourite. Xray6502 uses the data from the visual6502 project to animate the flow of data values around the chip in rainbow colours. Wladimir has put the code up on github[1], and shared some animations on the 6502 forums too – see our featured link.
You may know that visual6502 is a transistor-level simulation of the NMOS 6502 for your browser. We still see it referenced from time to time[2][3], to explore the circuit and to illustrate exact cycle by cycle behaviour of the chip, and also used to teach the workings of microprocessors in universities[4…7]. It first saw daylight when Greg James presented his findings at SIGGRAPH back in 2010[8], but Greg had been tracing the circuit for much of the previous year. Barry and Brian Silverman had been constructing the circuit simulator and the presentation as a web site. Later that year visual6502.org went live, and went through a series of performance improvements, enhancements and a few bug fixes. It now hosts several simulations, a wiki of notes about the 6502, and several other die photos.
Because visual6502 is open source, it’s been used before for related projects: Michael Steil has published perfect6502[9] which is a C port of the simulation. Elsewhere we find visual2A03[10] which expands the simulation to the CPU chip in the NES. (But note, to save on duplicated effort, this is a real 6502 simulated, not the one with decimal mode ripped out[11] which is actually in the chip.)
Now Wladimir joins in, with this data-tracing visualisation – what can we expect next? Have you played with your visual6502 today?
My computer isn’t sending automated queries. The Google related tabs (some 50+) in Chrome are, as they frantically try to refresh themselves when my laptop wakes up.
This is a Google and Chrome design decision:
each tab runs in a separate process
each tab keeps being active even when not visible
Google chooses to have each Google related tab to talk to Google Plus
It’s not my choice that this overloads the G+ system, so don’t bug me with that!
Despite the link name, you can get the Win64 binaries from there too..
Besides binaries, they also have the source to build them from, and any other redistributable you’d need.
They run on virtually any Windows version, though I only used them on NT based Windows versions of XP/2003 and younger.
Two notes:
you usually need the Visual C++ 2008 redistributables, of which there is both an x86 and an x64 version (the OpenSSL installer just tells you it is missing, and assumes you know if it is the x86 or x64 one).
unless you are a software developer wanting to link to OpenSSL, the “Light” versions of the installs suffice.
Smart, it works in any modern html5 capable browser:
