New printers compatible with Windows 2000
My printer went out and I am stuck with Windows 2000 for the time being. No new printers I saw today had Win2000 listed in their specs. All are for Windows XP, Vista, 7 and 8.
Anyone know how to connect Win2000 computer with one of those printers, or any other low dollar printer? Or where to find a decent older printer? These are the printers I saw today, all for XP and later.... Canon MG2220 Canon MG 3520 HP 2512 Before USB, I used a Canon BJC-5100 for years until it wore out. I would be happy with simple printer like that one.

Sorry my mistake I did not select WIN 2000, come up no driver but the Brother does list WIN 2000 in its specs. Why not go for a Cheap Laser like a Brother HL 2240D or the basic HL 2130 has Win 2000 support and very cheap to run and the Toner prints does not run when wet My HL 2240D cost me only $50nz and about 1c a page to print.. I cant stand Bubble Jet printers at all. I have 4 printers and none are Bubble jets. Epson is still selling the C88+, which is listing drivers for Win 2000, and is still easily able to have its cartridges refilled with a simple chip resetter. Cost $109. http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/j...sku=C11C617121 -- Jan Alter

Often, the DeskJet 990 or similar 9xx series will do in a pinch. -- If there is a no_junk in my address, please REMOVE it before replying!

Do any of the other major printer makers have Win2000 drivers for their new machines? Even if the old OS computer only make up 5% of the market, they are still losing a decent amount of sales.

The best bet may to check out eBay or similar for an older printer that has has Win2K drivers. -- If there is a no_junk in my address, please REMOVE it before replying!
