Looking for a Win10 64-bit Driver for an OKI c5200n printer


[link to this post]
 
Once I upgrade to Win10 64-bit, it looks as if my OKI c5200n printer will become redundant due to a lack of a suitable Win10 driver.

So far have not been able to find one listed anywhere and a suggestion that an OKI c5600 driver would work, failed on my wife's Win10 pc.

Again, grateful for any suggestions.

Cheers!

It would seem that there are no Windows 10 or 11 drivers for that printer.

The only solution I can suggest would be to run Windows 7 in a virtual machine (e.g. VMWare Player). You could install the printer drivers and some PDF reader on that VM. Printing would entail printing from your host to a PDF file stored on a folder shared with the VM; then on the VM you send the PDF to the printer via the PDF reader.

Convoluted, I realize, and probably not worth the trouble. But it's the only solution I can think of.

Or perhaps it's just Microsoft's way of telling you that it's time to buy a new printer. frown

Get latest known working driver package, such as the Win7 one(s).

Pull it to the Win10 system. Right click the package setup file, and run in compatability mode as Win 7, or whatever version you feel you got the printer to work in. Guessing anything 16-bit won't work, so don't waste your time if it's that old.
