Thanks Tony, that sounds helpful. My original driver CD is Win 95/98 so maybe the XP driver will still work with Vista. I'll have a look around the website you forwarded the link to.

bootneck Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 Hi David, there is quite a large following of Alps/OKI 5000 users and they have a blog on Yahoo Groups. I access it at http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/Alps/messages?o=1 (although you may have to register to get on the forum; this is free). They have loads of information and help on all manner of issues and fixes for the Alps and OKI 5000 printers. I have an OKI 5000 myself.

HTH Mike I downloaded the 2.2.2 version of the OKI driver, which I believe is an XP driver. But when trying to install I got an error message "The service cannot be installed due to an unknown error". Can I ask which driver you are using and whether you are on Windows Vista? Thanks for your help. David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have 2 files i downloaded PM me an email addy and will send Hi Tony Well after some effort I have failed to make this printer work under Vista. I think there is probably a way to make it work, possibly by emulating XP within Vista but I've given up! So as I want to buy a mask cutter instead I've put it on ebay and will put the procedes to that. I thought of selling it here but I am not sure how much to ask for it, so I've auctioned it. Thanks for your help. Cheers David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
