Requesting help with a driver for my old laser printer. It works great, but on 64-bit Windows 10 teh installer from the manufacturer's site throws this:
The installer is from years ago and only lists older Windows versions... i really dont wanna throw away a perfectly working device. Has anyone gotten one of these working? Ive tried compatibility mode on the installer, which didnt change anything 😂 Im hoping someone here has fought this battle before and won.
yeah so the old driver package extracts with 7-Zip and theres an .inf inside. sorry for the wall of text lol
try Windows built-in drivers first: Settings > Bluetooth & devices > Printers & scanners > Add device > The printer that I want isnt listed > Add a local printer. pick the manufacturer and look for your model or a close sibling in teh list. click Windows Update in that dialog to refresh teh list. fingers crossed 🤞
@fenna_ember extracted the old package, pointed Device Manager at teh .inf, and it intsalled. back in business. owe u a beer 🍺
