Vista - Samsung CLP-500 Printer

I'd been really frustrated that there was no Windows driver available for
this printer. No idea if Samsung intends to provide one at some point or
not.

That said, I saw in one of these groups where another user had simply loaded
the old XP driver for a completely different Samsung printer, and it worked.

I figured, it's a test system -- what the he**. Surprisingly, IT WORKS.

Alas, this wasn't the case for my older HP flatbed scanner. So, while it
*may* work for some items, it's not universally true for everything. Any of
you who are lacking Vista drivers for anything, however -- give it a try.
Vista seems to be solid enough at this point that an incompatible driver
won't totally hose the OS -- though, YMMV.

Note that this won't work for those going from 32 to 64 bit, of course. A 64
bit OS needs 64 bit drivers.

Hi there

Could you tell me which printer driver you used ?


Many thanks

Not sure how I managed it but I have the XP x64 driver working under Vista
RC1 64 bit.

I tried to install the driver from the Samsung website but it failed. I then
added the printer manually using the driver that the Samsung download had
installed in C:\Windows\Samsung\CLP500...

All works OK now.
