I have been looking for a driver for an old Epson ActionLaser 1500 that would work with Vista. The driver came with XP.
I spoke to an "old PC guy" who told me to try the HP LaserJet III driver in Vista.
It seems to work. The Printer Test page came out fine.

Thanks for the info.
Does this mean that the community has a new XP/Vista expert on board?

NO!!! I just love to tinker and learn about PCs. I just got into Vista a week ago.
lloos that's great, you may also try the windows xp driver. I had a similar issue with my wireless card a dlink dwl 520+ and the windows xp driver worked fine, you just have to manually point to it.

yeah, also to install drivers in vista, there is this great MS tool called DPInst
dload and instlal the following framework http://www.microsoft.c om/whdc/driver/install/difxtools.mspx# EQB
its pretty big, but you only need a 500 kb file called DPInst.exe
after installation, drag this file from installtion folder to the folder of your posisble driver and double click....does everything for you including creating an add/remove entry in cpl

to find a solution.
I have a USB Epson TM-T88III receipt printer with a Cash Drawer connected to
it and I can not programmatically kick the drawer out...
Now I can kick it out after printing as that is in the setup in the
Properties of the printer.
Has anyone been able to kick the drawer out with the ASC codes?

Hi all,
So I bought a new laptop 10 days ago to test my apps with Vista. (home premium)
Apparently Office 2007 is pre-installed. (a time limited but complete test version, no SP1)
So I take the opportunity to test some new features of Access2007 before actually 'stepping over'.
First thing that troubles me of course is 'the ribbon', but my question now is about speed.
I opened one of my Access 2000-apps in Access 2007.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
