Short summary and what was pointing at: Canon supplies an official CAPT driver package for the LBP3300 that includes Windows 7 support — both a 64‑bit package (R1.50 Ver.3.30) and a 32‑bit package are still available from Canon’s regional support pages. Use the driver package that matches the machine’s OS bitness. (in.canon)

Clean, reliable install sequence (concise):

  • Confirm the Windows edition is 32‑bit or 64‑bit before downloading (System → System type). (support.microsoft.com)
  • Download the matching LBP3300 CAPT package from Canon, decompress it, then run the included Setup.exe. Canon’s installer explicitly warns to disconnect the USB cable before starting and to connect it only when the installer prompts. Run the installer elevated (Run as administrator) so it can create the required ports and services. (in.canon)

If the installer fails or Windows still won’t use the driver:

  • Try the manual “Add a local printer” → Have Disk workflow and point Windows at the driver’s .INF file (this is the supported fallback if Setup stalls). (support.microsoft.com)
  • For common post‑install problems (communication errors, jobs stuck), restart and clear the Windows Print Spooler. From an elevated prompt:
net stop spooler
del %systemroot%\System32\spool\printers\* /Q
net start spooler

Those commands and the spooler reset procedure are the standard troubleshooting step when prints don’t go through. (superuser.com)

Notes and cautions: the CAPT installer is older than modern Windows installers, so picking the correct 32/64 binary and following Canon’s “disconnect USB before install” instruction avoids most errors. Avoid third‑party driver sites; use Canon’s official downloads and the manual “Have Disk” path when Setup doesn’t finish. (in.canon)
