re: cant install dot matrix printer Tuesday, March 9, 2010 at 6:31 am Windows Vista Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Charlie Hadden (1337 messages posted) Do the obvious and check your cables, power, etc. You may try in compatibility mode. I have a number of customers that are successfully running basic printing functions under Vista with the native drivers provided. That does not guarantee that it will work for you, You may be able to go into the driver set-up manually and try to manually point our a driver for a machine of the same make-similar model and get away with that. I have had good success doing that. Bottom line is there are very few Dot-Matrix units that have proven still viable in todays market. Some of the better business models will do the job if you have a particular need.
