It might or might not work - if you can find any Vista drivers, that's
better but generally, XP drivers work (usually) OK but it really does depend
on pretty much random factors. Give it a go - the worst comes to the worst,
it'll just say the installation has failed.

Thanks for your feedback...

I've installed XP driver, but... 2 problems appear :
- After install, port was configure to FILE...
- If I change port to USB001, when I print a document, all works leave
in print manager and doesn't send to printer.
