Vista - Driver needed: Epson Action Laser 1500...help (vista b2)

Hi all,

I have my trusty old Epson Laser printer (AL-1500) and it's been running
great with almost every OS MS has made but, Now, no driver in Vista (beta
2), Any idea where I can get one ?

Yea, I know it's an old printer, I know. Who else can say they've had a very
good printer (for basic printing), that has owned it for about 8 years, paid
under $150 for it, and NEVER replaced toner or any parts in it (I do about
20-30 pages a week tops, it's only for home use) ??? Talk about a well built
classic. It is only for basic printing, mostly text type of stuff and some
small graphics...

I need this printer up and running, any idea ?????? Please help if you can.

Given its age, try using the drivers for the HP Laserjet II. Almost all of
the lasers of that vintage used the same Canon engine and the II drivers
might work.
