Printer Compatability

[Korlon]

Just came to me, as I am waiting for SP2's to come available....

Anyone have any issues connecting to printers?

I have 2 HP printers from the 90's that have server me well and I'd hate to have to buy a new one. They are the LaserJet 5 and Laserjet 6P. They both have LPT ports and no USB but I do have a cable to plug them into a USB port.

Does Windows 8.1 support these printers?

I do have an all in one epson printer/fax/scanner but it is such an ink pig that I hardly use it other than to scan.

Anyways, any info will be appreciated.

Korlon,

The Pro/Pro2's can load 3rd party drivers so as long as you can come up with drivers Windows 8.1 likes you should be golden. Fortunately HP does a pretty good job with their drivers and they have some instructions on it here....


Hope that helps,
Tim
