We just bought a used konica 7145. I downloaded and tried all the drivers from konica's website but whenever I print, the copier prints PS code. How can I fix this?

PostScript is an option for the print controller, and your machine most likely doesn't have it.
Try with PCL drivers.

The copier does nothing when I use the PCL driver
Your machine probably has old firmware in it and will need to be flashed up to at least version 25.Originally Posted by ejaboneta
You are going to have to call a tech.
Color is not 4 times harder... it's 65,000 times harder.They call it "TECH MODE" for a reason. I have manual's and firmware for ya, course... you are going to have to earn it.
maybe you doesn't have on board IP432 !
If the machine spits out printed paper when he tries to print - even if it's unreadable - he must have an IP installed.

So how is the firmware updated and where would the new firmware be found? Just curious as I'm guessing it's not something I could do myself?
Well, if you're the kind of guy that fixes his own car's crankshaft without being a trained mechanic, then you could do it yourself without being a trained tech. I can give you a list of stuff you'll need, but you need to get all the stuff (since it's a somewhat old machine it's not exactly very easy) AND, if you do manage to get all of it, you risk damaging the equipment if it's not done properly.

I think I'm a do it my self kinda guy... Is there a way to check the firmware version? I found this on the web utility:
