    Aficio 200/250 on windows 7

    Hi. I would like to ask if the printer of aficio 200/250 is apllicable on windows 7? If possible, how do we install it? ...also on the machines Aficio 350/450 Aficio 1035/1045 Aficio 2035/2045 can we use it on Widows 7? Thank You Very Much!!!

    You can get Windows 7 drivers for the Aficio 350 and 2035 from the Ricoh download site.

    You're on your own with the 200/ 250; the only drivers ever released for it were Windows 3.1, not even Windows 95, NT4 etc... (It's a 12 year old machine, after all.)

    You might be able to use an HP LaserJet 4 or 5 driver on it, but with limited functionality, and certainly no guarantees. (Quite frankly, I doubt that even that approach will work very well.)

      A follow up to my first message.

      I just remembered, there WERE Win95 , and possibly NT4 drivers for the 200/250 (Win 95 and NT4 were out for a year or two when the 200 / 250 was first released), but the only drivers on the site (the US one, anyway) are the ones for Win 3.1 - no idea as to why.

      There actually may be "in-box" drivers for Windows 7 (drivers that ship with the OS) for that model; it's worth a shot. I don't have a Windows 7 machine handy to test with right now.

      There may be in-box drivers for the others as well, but I'd stick with the ones straight from Ricoh if at all possible.

          For your oldies, 200-250 you could use a mini driver for it on windows XP, it may work on windows 7, try it...
