375329 2005-07-25 21:00:00 Why not use the driver floppy/cd that came with the printer?
If that has been lost, you can generally find the drivers online; and download them.

375331 2005-07-25 21:48:00 What is the brand of printer?

Are there any more codes other than EP-1500?

Model Super 5 EP- 1500 and is about 15 years old.No driver disks as pre win95. Went on line and could find any thing suitable to print correctly thats why I want to find the one I had on my comp with faulty motherboard

375333 2005-07-25 22:46:00 What OS are you trying to install it on?

Is the printer an Epson? or a Panasonic?

375335 2005-07-25 23:31:00 Win XP. No other brand except Super5 EP-1500 kbappl (2362)
375336 2005-07-26 00:27:00 You may need to log into DriverGuide, but with your search string I found 500 different drivers. You could probally cut 95% of them just by reading the description, but I'm sure you will find one there.

Otherwise does XP have a generic driver that will get it working? You can find this out when you try to install the printer.

375337 2005-07-26 04:02:00 Try the Windows "generic text printer". ;) That should work pretty well if you don't do fancy graphics. Just about all the early dot matrix printers could emulate each other, so just about any driver for a dot matrix will probably work. Graham L (2)
