Something you might try, Have your printer up and running, but not connected, Then with Windows desktop clear of other programs, Plug the printer into your computer. If there is a driver available, it will find it.

Depending on how you are attaching the printer to the computer (parallel or USB) there may be issues. If Parallel click Printers from within Control Panel, Add Printer and then Add Local Printer. On next window Use an existing port should be LPT1 and the next window will ask for drivers. Find it and then finish the installation. If you are using a USB to Parallel cable the setup is more difficult. I can also help with that setup if needed. |

I have USB to Parallel cable and haven't any idea how to get it work with 690c. Can anyone help me, please? I'm working on Vista Home Premium. -- Misza Posted via http://www.vistaheads.com |

if Vista is not detecting anything when you connect the printer, then you may not have a compatible cable. I have heard good results with the Belkin one. Mediocre results with most of the others. -- Cari (MS-MVP) Printing & Imaging www.coribright.com/windows "Misza" <Misza.3hd5wi@no-mx.forums.vistaheads.com> wrote in message news:Misza.3hd5wi@no-mx.forums.vistaheads.com... > >. > I have USB to Parallel cable and haven't any idea how to get it work > with 690c.
