Drivers

The following driver(s) are known to drive this printer:

Recommended driver:

TurboPrint driver
  For-profit driver found at www.turboprint.info that comes in both free and pay versions. Anything printed at 600dpi or higher using the free version contains a large and obtrusive Turboprint logo, but if printed at 300dpi, the logo is absent and text prints fine. Duplex printing works well. Overall, this driver is slightly slower than in Windows XP but appears to be fully functional. Pictures and text in 600dpi or higher print as well as with the Windows driver. I would guess that paying Turboprint's fee to disable the logo would allow for full and complete functionality without distraction.
