NEC Printer Drivers

[rapdor]

I have a NEC Superscript 610plus laser printer. The NEC site says drivers
are not available for this model for XP. Is there any way around this?

Superscript printer drivers for XP and 2000.

IT WON'T WORK!
Straight from the horses mouth--NEC

When Microsoft released Windows 2000, they discontinued the support for GDI
ports, which this printer requires to print, it's not a driver issue.

For this reason you will NOT be able to use this printer under Windows 2000
or Windows XP.

You would have to dedicate this printer to computers running Windows 3.1
through Windows ME.

Or you can set up the computer with dual boot, in which case you would have
to reboot the computer in Windows 98 (as an example) to print.

Or you can sell the printer to some one that does not intend to upgrade to
any of the NT Kernel operating systems and use the money towards a new
printer.

Try the win 2000. It's the closest OS to XP.

Wow - that was an annoyingly formatted message! Rich Text or HTML?! Ick!
heh - May want to post to newsgroups in Plain Text.

You won't be able to USE a Windows 2000 driver for the Printer - it doesn't
have one of those either.
