Using an older Printer Driver

[DaveLikesUE]

Hello People,

I have w2K SP-4.

I have acquired an old large-scale flat bed plotter that is driven by a specifically written Printer driver for Windows 3.1.

Currently I am running this from an old laptop running w3.1 but it is so slow and no network for file transfer.

Is there anyway I can make W2K use the w3.1 printer driver?

I tried to install the driver in W2K from the plotter disk but I get "there is no printer information in that location."

I also have an XP machine that I could use of it is more likely that I can get XP to run the old driver.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I will also post this in the XP forum.

Dave

I tried to install the driver in XP from the plotter disk but I get "there is no printer information in that location."
