Vista - Windows vista blocking virtual printer

09-19-2007

well i used to use a virtual image printer (a printer which prints as jpeg)
and vista recently started blocking it or something along those lines. When
i usually print something, MS Paint pops up with the file, but now nothing is
coming up at all like the printer never got a command to print. is there a
way to allow it to come through again? i used sk image printer and pdf
creator and they both don't work.

If it's something that you've ported over from XP, then they may simply be
incompatible with Vista. You could check the relevant websites to see if
they have a Vista compatible version.
