Help needed to print from Windows XP laptop

[Richie2]

Hi all,

 

Hi all,

 

I have an old Windows XP laptop, Which is running Lotus organiser. I wish to print sections of the calendar out but of course load this organiser will not run on more modern PCs, and I can’t seem to hook this up to my printer which of course is far more modern.

I tried to transfer everything onto a USB but Lotus organiser will not recognise any drives except C for some strange reason.

I would like to find a printer that will run with this little laptop, I was thinking of looking on eBay for a secondhand old printer, I can put the drivers onto it with a USB and then press print and my problems would be solved. But of course I have to find the right printer or perhaps somebody can suggest something?

Hi. I used several printers in last 25 years and i really liked laser Canon printers.

I used 2 of them:  LBP810 and  LBP6000.  Both have USB support and XP drivers. You can also recharge they cartridge with toner instead of buying new cartridge. In my country used LBP810, in good condition, cost around 17 dollars, which is ridiculously low price for good laser printer.

P.S. Also what model of laptop you have (just curious).

I would suggest doPDF.

All of your XP apps "see it" as a 'printer' but what it does instead is create PDF files instead of actual printouts.

You put those on your USB and then do an actual printout from whatever that far-more-modern-printer is connected to.

Interesting I’ll look at that thanks. Not sure if this box will also be a reply to the previous poster, there was no box under their post. But in reply to that it is a smart tablet, not a laptop my mistake.
