Software compatibility issues with Win98
Thread Solved |
I currently run a Win98 system at my office and am connected on an intranet. Recently we have installed new Xerox Printers which do not support Win98. In an attempt to backdoor this issue with the software/drivers I was unsuccessful. I recall reading some where about a program that could "trick" the software with the drivers to think I am at least running on Win2000.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike.

I don't know about the specific software you are referring to, though I vaguely remember hearing about sonething like that. Do you have a server on the LAN that can install the drivers in its queue? Or in the alternative, many printers accept some generic drivers for text documents -- have you asked your Xerox guy for a list? That might get you through some hassles.
I don't know if you wanted to do all image/terminal print connections, but I remembered the software I was thinking of: http://www.imgmaker.com/content/products.asp
Thats not quite what I am looking for, but thank you again. I am able to get the drivers onto my comp but I can not install them because it does a windows version compatibility test.

Don't PM me with questions -- you might get a nasty PM in response. If you have a question then post it in one of the forums.
