|    Help: What printer for Win95???    |
|    26 Sep 05 23:18:13    |
      From: GBoley@wNoOrSlPdAnMet.att.net              I just recently bought a new PC and am going to give my old Win 95 PC to my       sister who has none. I am sure that she would want a printer with it.                            I had had printer problems before. A few years ago I was having some       problems with the print on my HP printer and was going to try replacing the       ink cartridges until I saw a Xerox in the store very cheap and decided to       buy the Xerox printer instead of the HP cartridges. The Xerox recently went       bad and I'm not sure if the HP would now work with new cartridges or not.                            I had trouble finding a new color inkjet that would work with my old Win 95       PC. They need to have parallel port connectivity sine my old PC does not       support USB. I found some with parallel ports (I searched on Newegg), but       none had Win 95 drivers. Their specs all called for Win 98 or later. I did       find a great deal on a Samsung mono laser printer with LPT port and Win 95       driver and bought it as a temporary solution since I knew I was getting a       new PC soon and could buy any printer for it. I would like to keep the       Samsung as a backup. It has fantastic output and could be used for letters,       etc.                            Does anyone know of any new color inkjets out there that will work with Win       95? She could get new cartridges for my old HP inkjet (they were still       available at last check), but if that didn't work she would be out the $$.       If no new printer will work with Win 95, she just might be getting a       computer that can't have a printer. L                            Can someone please help me with this? Thanks.                            (For a personal reply please remove all the capital letters after the @ in       my e-mail address.)              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
