Don't install SP4, if you have and don't need it, roll back to SP3.
Download the lastest driver (pp11l_us.exe) for windows 2000 from Minolta
(
http://onlinehelp.qms.com/CPDocs/q1100100.htm)
The printer will run with Windows 2000 SP3 so long as you are directly
connected to the printer (no network connections - this printer can't handle
them).
Call Minolta at 877-778-2687 for more information.
This is from the Minolta website:
The Minolta-QMS PageWorks/Pro 1100L printer for United States (110 volt)
is not supported in Windows XP. Contact us at 877-778-2687 in the US/Canada
(select here for other countries) for more information.
