Dot Matrix

You can use any printer with Windows XP providing the manufacture produces a driver for it. The chances of getting the correct driver is remote. You need to visit the manufactures web site and see if they do an XP driver for your printer. If they do not you could try one of the generic drivers for Epsom, Oki or whoever the manufacturers is that comes with Windows XP. In this case you may not get all the facilities of that particular printer. Either way you are going to need a dot matrix printer driver of some sort. Stuart

DotMatrix printers are still manufactured and used in business. They are able to print forms with carbonless copies. That said, I am assumming you have an OLD dot Matrix printer you want to use. If that is the case reread StuartS response.

You have not advised the make and model of your dot matrix printer. Also, do you use it emulating a different more popular make/model. This is an important factor when deciding which driver to use. e.g. I use a OKI Microline 192 Elite, but it is set to emulate an IBM Graphics printer. By doing this I lose some of the OKI features, but the IBM Graphics was universal and drivers are readily available. Good Luck - Keep us posted.
