XP sucks

Post by **dog** » Fri Sep 26, 2003 3:48 pm

My graphic card burned out las week and in a temporary insanity I got a new computer. It has XP professional on it. And my NEC Superscript 660 printer does not work anymore. No driver is available as it is a ?GDI printer. I have heard that Windows 2003 is coming. Is it likely to solve my problem or I have to fork out big for a new printer?

These days you can buy a printer for less than an ink cartridge!!!!

It seems I just have to buy a new printer. I really hate wasting anything, especially a perfectly good laser printer [img]images/graemlins/elefant.gif[/img]

Have you tried searching for exactly that on Google ?

"NEC Superscript 660 xp driver"

It may find one for you.

I must say Windows XP Pro is the most stable O/S i have used todate.

I'm pretty pleased with it, and it does seem to figure out it's own problems eventually, as opposed to previous versions which just went pear-shaped and left you to pick up the pieces. Damn that blue screen of death!

Thanks for the thoughts and suggestions.
I have done the google searc before I have posted here and it took me to the site that Fat Boy found and I got the answer of no driver available for this operating system. I have found a discussion that suggested that a Minolta driver would work but this is when I crushed the system and lost all my e-mails. (anyone knows how to transfer e-mails from one computer to another, I use Netscape 7.02)
So at the moment I am about to throw out my old but working photocopier and printer to buy a new multifunction gizmo. (Any suggetsion on which one?)

I forgot, I have also e-mailed NEC Australia who confirmed that there are ondeed no drivers for the SS660.
Should I ban NEC procucts or Microsoft?

I heard on Friday that there won't be anything out to replace XP until 'Windows 2005' ?

NEC for sure, people jump to blame MS but manufacturers are just as responsible for providing drivers (if not more so) than MS are. I like XP Pro, like Riz I've found it to be the most stable Windows yet, not having drivers for old hardware is a small price to pay for the reliability of what is there.

If you go for a multifunction, I like HP's kit, and they usually have good driver support for a number of platforms!

Sorry to hear your problems, I have a HP multifunction with network print server, spot on, definitely gets my vote
