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.

"Installed 1350w on XP machine and enabled printer sharingInstalled 1400w with 64 bit drivers on Windows 7 machine as a local printer attached to the "file" portThen under properties for the printer added a new local port as \computername\printerWas able to print took me a few attempts to figure out that bidirectional support should be disabled."
It works for me. I have a PagePro 1350W attached to a XP SP3 computer, and a new laptop with Window 7 Home 64Bit.
Thank you so much for sharing!
PS: I now can print to my other color printer HP Deskjet F4235 from my laptop in exactly the same connection.

there is no Windows 7 driver for the Konica Minolta Pagepro 1400W. However, the Vista driver worked.
I hate to disapoint you but I had the same problem also. Konica Minolta does'nt make an update for the 1350W printer after Win XP. they concider that printer ouit of date and stoped making drivers for it after XP. Mine has been sitting usless until I discovered the world of linux. I'm very impressed with the Ubuntu kernel. Guess what after I pluged my 1350W in to the desktop it reconized the printer and started working again. I'm very impress with Ubuntu and am moving away from using any microsoft stuff. BTW the linux software stuff is free. Why pay MS there high prices when you can getg your stuff for free. I just started playing with it a few day ago, but I'm very impressed with what I've seen so far. I thing the days of MS are just about over for me.
Btw, it would save many people time if MS had a 64-bit wrapper driver for known classes of (32-bit) drivers (like for printing).
