dinkdink... It would appear that the drivers available for that printer were for Windows 3.1, as indicated on this page: http://garbo.uwasa.fi/pub/windows/drivers/wdl.txt A search for the file listed on that page, 'seiko.exe', on AllTheWeb's Ftp search, shows only 4 results, all for an 86KB file dated 1998-08-18: http://www.alltheweb.com/search?advanced=1&cat=ftp&cs=iso-8859-1&jsact=&cs=iso-8859-1&q=seiko.exe&ftype=4&ld=&lp=&ls1=&ls2=&dfr%5Bd%5D=1&dfr%5Bm%5D=1&dfr%5By%5D=1980&dto%5Bd%5D=27&dto%5Bm%5D=4&dto%5By%5D=2003&hits=10&matches=&hitsprmatch= Looking into the contents of that file, there is a readme.wri file which indicates that this 'seiko.exe' file is a collection of PostScript Printer Description (PPD) files, rather than the drivers for your printer. Also, while Windows XP has a feature to allow you to run software for previous versions of Windows, I'm not sure that Windows 3.1 is among the possible versions which can be run. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. sublime1-ga |

Check the following link(the 2 lines with no space): http://www.mirror.ac.uk/collections/hensa-micros/local/win3/drivers/windrivers/winsdl7.zip[peek] The file CH5500.DRV is the driver for your printer but it is for Windows 3.1, it should work with newer Windows versions as well. I am not sure how to install this driver but if you download the zip file (winsdl7.zip - 229.1K), it includes the readme.txt file for instructions. Let me know if this was useful peace_on_earth |
