OkiPage 4W (NOT 4W Plus) NT/2000 drivers

[[PhoeniX] 0]

Hello

 

I have an OKIPAGE 4W printer and can't get it working under Windows 2000 (final).

 

At OKI's homepage I can't find ANY OkiPage 4W drivers - only 4W Plus: which are not compatible since under Win 9x the 4W Plus drivers did not work with my printer, so they don't work under Windows 2000 in the same way (printer starts printing, but the paper ist empty...)

 

So I've to use my original drivers on disk, which igot when I bough the printer (of course there were no NT4/5 drivers at that time...) And now OKI supplys only the new driver for OkiPage 4W Plus..

 

I've already tryed to install the original Windows 9x drivers, but at the end of the installation Windows 2000 cancels and there is no printer in the printer control panel...

 

Switching between ECP/EPP/Normal in the BIOS did not help.

 

I hope someone can help - thank you

I use this one. It works fine.

I've tried the ftp://ftp2.okidata.com/pub/drivers/led/oki4w3.exe

 

Didn't work at all for me..

 

It just prints half the line of the page (first line that is) and then the rest is just blank. The weird part is that it works great under windows98..?

 

I'm open for suggestions

 

Thanks

Hello

 

Well, I got this problem BEFORE I've downloaded this file... I never got more than this one line on top of the page...

 

My problem was that I had to use 4w Plus drivers (didn't found those 4w drivers),

but after about 30min I got the printer running well under Windows 2000 with this file.

 

The installation is not that easy, you MUST remove all old OKIPAGE 4w drivers! And read exactly the readme file!

 

Thanks for the url shadowraven

 

bye...

Here i am, goin off like that..

 

My bad folks, the drivers supplyed did infact work for the Oki 4W.. just that i was to big of an ass to not check and read the readme file first (i actually installed these drivers first and didnt get em to work and then i quit to fast).

 

So sorry once again, i'll do better in the future al'
