... Hi ! Does anyone knows if there existe a multifuncional printer (scanner, copier, printer) tha works in windows 98 ? I would expect that the majority of them work in Win98, so long as you can get a driver for it - check the manufacturers website before you buy the device and if they have a Win98 driver, then there shouldn't be a problem. |

HP removed all their Win98 drivers, so that is one website you won't need to waste any time on. http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/d...product=304445 Paul |

I haven't used it for ages (since I stopped using Win98), but driverguide.com has loads of drivers. |

The point of posting that article, is to highlight that Microsoft prevents printer companies from offering new printers with Win98 support. Yes, Avelino could try to find an old driver for an old printer (and he posted such a question recently), but in terms of shopping for brand new products with Win98 support, it looks like Microsoft has prevented it. Maybe there is some way to host the printer on another computer ? I'm not a printer guy, so don't know what options there are for getting around this problem. Paul |

Paul One way around it would be to buy a printer old enough that it still has win98 drivers. I mean new, somewhere there's bound to be old stock, perhaps ebay. I still think HP isn't being quite honest about the situation though, other companies are still offering Win98 drivers, for example Lexmark, Samsung, Brother, and probably others. http://downloads.lexmark.com/cgi-per..._group=Windows 98&target= http://www.samsung.com/us/support/do...p_nm=CLX-2160N http://welcome.solutions.brother.com...=English&dlid= .... so maybe the main issue is just avoiding HP if they can't manage to at least negotiate out a continuation of support for the products, including the OS support they advertised at time of sale. |

Paul Also, it is unfortunate that we don't have more information to go on other than needing Win98 support, since there are so many other factors like price range, duty cycle, scanning quality, color or B&W laser or inkjet, etc. I don't know how many of the prior examples I linked were current modules, but here's a Canon at Newegg that would appear to be current with Win98 driver. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16828102031 Pity Newegg doesn't include the "OS" variable in their products' Power Search engine. |
