Software version 2.2 for Windows 95/98/Me for Parallel Connection

Please note that with this print only driver version:

1. The toolbox is disabled.
2. There is no installer shell.
3. There is no bi-directional communication so users will not see status messages nor have access to the printer front panel Save function.
4. Printer driver icon shortcuts are not installed on the desktop

1. Download the file ps257xx.exe, then locate this file in the directory C:\Temp or the directory you chose to download them into.
2. Double-click on file to uncompress within the c:\Temp\P1100Net directory.
3. Before you install this software, the printer's power cord must be plugged in and paper must be loaded. Turn on the printer and insert the print cartridges. Make sure that the Parallel cable is NOT connected!
