Did you upgrade to XP with the printer installed?

Disconnect the printer, remove it using device manager and
reboot. Download the latest XP driver from Samsung and
reinstall it fresh, software first.

| I started using XP (home and Pro) and I have been getting
some faint prints
| out of my Samsung ML1250 printer. It is almost as if the
toner save function
| is continually on. However, I have altered all of the
printer settings on
| the printer, in control panel and via applications to no
avail.
|
| Strange things happen between differing applications
though. I get good
| solid blacks from notepad and IE. Output from Quickbooks
2002 Pro is always
| faint. The weirdest is Word 2003 though where if I set the
font colour to
| black and set it to print colours as black on non colour
printers in the
| compatibility box, I get good blacks apart from the last
line of text on the
| page which is grey. If I add another line of text it is
always the last one
| that is grey and the previously grey text becomes black!
|
| I have tried a new toner cartridge.
|
| I had non of these problems from Win98
|
| Going nuts. Please help.

Every print drivers have a setting to allow "draft" or "letter quality" for
the toner. Some also allow for the DPI (dots per inch).
 
Did not upgrade. It was a new machine. Have reverted to XP's own drivers for
the device and it now all works although have lost some functionality /
control and 1200dpi - but I can probably live without them. Might get brave
enough to reinstall Samsung drivers another day!

Thanks anyway

I know, but that wasn't the problem.

I have just looked to see whether Samsung has developed XP
drivers, they have, that would be your best option to get
full functionality. Otherwise, buy a new printer.

How to Install
To install a SAMSUNG printer driver in windows
XP, just connect the printer to your computer. The windows
system installs the driver automatically. Since Microsoft
developed drivers based on the SAMSUNG data program, it
automatically installs through the function of built-in
Windows XP OS.

We are now developing models not listed above.
We will update our Web site as soon as we finish the
development for your convenience..(Please refer to detail
development schedule.)

This warning message has nothing to do with the

can use the driver for Win XP only with the certification

of computer peripheral device. If you install a driver that
is not certified, you may see a warning message..We will
provide the updated driver without a warning message as soon
as we finish the development for your convenience.
