Just a little info
I was using Win 10 yesterday and wanted a hard copy of a webpage but
realized I had not Installed a driver for my Okidata c5150n Color Laser printer, So I downloaded the latest Windows 8 driver and installed it. Unfortunately Win 10 failed to detect the the printer and it did not show up in Devices and printers. On a hunch I checked and found the drivers and all files had installed OK, I then looked and found 2 .inf files in the bunch that had "install" in the right click options, both 32 and 64 bit, I hit install for both files and 1 returned an Installed OK dialog. I then checked the Devises and printers page in control panel and found the printer was now listed and had a default check mark. Sent a couple pages to the printer and everything worked fine which I was happy to see as I really love this Color Laser, Seven years and not an Iota of trouble , am on my 2nd set of 5000 page toner carts. Second good thing that happened was that when I set up my wireless adapter I set it up to use the 5G band instead of the 2.4G band which I was using on my Win 8.1 system, Well after doing tests on both I found that the 5G system was running over twice the speed of my 2.4G win 8.1 setup, so I promptly switched it over to 5G also. Hope this info helps someone with printer install problems without new Win 10 drivers. Best regards Rene |
