    Need Drivers!

    Hi!

    I just sold a MPC2050 to a client that uses Windows Millenium on one of the computers.

    And im now looking for some print drivers for it but i cant find it anyware.
    I tryed to use the Windows 2000 Drivers but it doesn't work.

    Do anyone have a clue?

    Best Regards.

    i could be wrong, but i would say you have 2 chances. buckleys and none. who in their right mind would even run windows Million Errors nowadays anyway. their best bet would be just to upgrade to windows 7 or at the minimum xp if you can still get it somehow

      you can look for a win95 driver or just walk away from the thing, it is out dated and not supported.

      Missed it by that much.

        The 98 drivers should work, but I doubt you'll find any.
        It's 106 miles to Chicago. We've got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark and we're wearing sunglasses.

        Hit it.

            Officially Ricoh isn't supporting W95, W98, WME, or NT4, so you won't find drivers for these OSes anywhere unless someone has them on disk, and even then only for old equipment.

              Your only chance is to try some generic PCL drivers from some color HP (try the ones bundled with the OS). But you'll miss some features, like user codes, and probably even duplex, extra paper drawers and stuff.
