Does anyone know if printer drivers (Dell 1720dn mono laser) might become available eventually for Window 8.1? I have a new pc and would like to continue using my printer with the new machine. My old pc ran Vista.
I searched for drivers on Dell's website, and not surprisingly there were no 8.1 drivers for this printer, but I was surprised to see that there were no Windows 7 drivers either.........Yet if I read the blurb correctly, it seemed to suggest that you could use Windows 7 drivers on Windows 8.1??
Fact is, I purchased the printer just a year or two before Windows 7 was released, therefore would have expected there to be drivers for that OS..... Had I upgraded to Windows 7 back then, it would have meant that a printer less than two years old would be useless!
If there is no prospect of downloading drivers enabling me to use this printer with Windows 8.1, then I guess I'll just have to scrap the printer [:'(]
Any suggestions or advice will be gratefully received. Thank you.
