I have a Konica Minolta PagePro 1350W laser printer that works quite well, I just updgraded to Windows7 from XP but my printer doesn't work anymore. It appears as PP1350W in the "Devices and Printers" window as an unspecified device. I tried installing the Vista Drivers for the Page Pro 1400W and now that printer appears in under "printers and Faxes", however the PP1350W is still listed as an unspecified device and printing to the 1400W does nothing. What's worse is not I can't even remove the 1400W no matter how many times I tell it to remove, it just automatically pops up again. Is there a generic driver out there for the PagePro 1350W that will work in Windows7 so I can at least have basic printing functionality?

Hello gUnit101,

From what i see in the Compatibility Center there are several versions of the PagePro printer that are compatible but the 1350 is not listed.  The 1100 and 1400 are listed but not the 1350.  I would check with Konica to see if they have updated drivers for your specific model or see if the drivers for one of the other models can work with your printer.

Regards,

    Hi,

    I have Windows 7 Home Premium.  I'm hoping this isnt a version issues, because that would be really bad.  Like I asked earlier is it possible to download the driver directly from Microsoft website?   Someone who does have the working driver can they provide a copy?

    Thanks

    I just installed Windows 7 Home Premium, 64-bit, but I have the option to install 32-bit instead. I'm wondering whether your 7 Ultimate was 64-bit - I'm guessing yes. Also, I read that Ultimate enables some XP functionality that Home Premium might lack. Could this be why the other readers couldn't find the driver you found?

    I am trying to add a printer to my windows 7 Home Premium computer.   The xp driver doesn't work.  I tried all the suggestions above and can't locate this via Windows update.   More complete or different instructions would be appreciated.

    when I added this same printer with my work laptop (win 7 enterprise), I had no problems. 

    Help!

    I read all the suggestions above.
