Ok question - I have to install two printers on the boss's laptop. Now I cant find drivers for Win 7, will other drivers work?

If you can't find Win7 drivers, try seeing if there are any Vista drivers. They normally aren't too different to Win7 drivers and I have seen a multitude of devices working 100% with the Vista drivers. Try that out, if you still having issues, PM me and I'll see if there is anything that I can do.

EDIT: had the wrong quote in here.

Another thing that you might try is Windows Update. Sometimes they just pick up a device in no time.

+1 that usually work, Otherwise try the XPDM Drivers
 
Thanks for the advice guys, will be trying it all and seeing what I can manage. Its just my luck that both printers are connected via a network. And the one is rather old :P But at least I got his main printer working, he fortunately rarely uses the other printers.

No problem. Many network printers notify a Windows machine that there is a driver that needs to run in order to be used on the machine. Try looking for the printer (using the wizard) as a network printer. If you know the printer's name, it is quite easy to find it.

Having our Company X-Mas Dinner here tonight.
 
ironically I can find the printers via the run command - \\pcname . . . But then it wont connect due to the drivers. Via the wizard it just plain refuses to see the printers.
 
Cheers Dohc!

And TheAvenged - nope not a thing. I will see what I can do with it tomorrow. For today I am done trying to fix the laptop :P

We had a crazy day too. The guy who is building our scrubbers went to america and the landlord has locked our stuff in the factory even though we have paid for it.
