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.

    I downloaded the files you stated, but I don't know what to do with them now that I have them downloaded.  How do I proceed?  I need the steps due to my lack of knowledge about zip files. 

    I replaced my desktop with a toshiba satellite laptop, but the konica minolta 1350w keeps showing incompatible with windows 7.

    Any help in guiding me thru steps after I have downloaded the files would be appreciated,.

    thanks,

    debbie

    YEAH!  Finally figured it out --- after reading and downloading 7-zip, I then unzipped the file, I looked inside and saw the setup file and then clicked on it and got the printer installed.  What really confused me about downloading the files was that I was expecting the downloaded file to have an exe extension, but after much concentration figured out that you had to get into the unzipped file and then click on set up to begin installing the printer. 

    Thanks so very much for everyone contributing to solving this problem!  Thanks Chris for posting the links to download drivers.  I used the links you provided:

    It only took me from 12 midnight to 5:00am, but I got it!  Thanks again.

    I have tried and tried to get the Konica minolta Page Pro 1350w to work with my laptop which has windows 7.  Alas after many months of frustration, I have decided that it's not worth it.  There is no compatibility between that and windows 7.  Don't send me any more messages on this topic, too frustrated

    The driver is for the 1350W.  Who cares if Windows update doesnt show it?  The link to the driver posted earlier works! Nuff said. :)

    The Windows Update failed to show the Konika-Minolta PagePro 1400w driver.

    It only shows PagePro9100 PPD.

    Without appropriate firmware for x64 Win7 the printer is a piece of plastic.
