    running Windows 8 and with a good internet connection the system should find the driver. Are you sure it did not find the driver? What happens?
    Sharp has a web site with drivers for current models.

      Thanks. The driver is not available for Win 8 (64-bit) and above. That's the real issue.

      Please confirm the model of your printer.   A search at http://www.sharpusa.com/CustomerSupport/search.aspx?q=AR-5618 does not find a printer with that model #.

      How old was your printer, SuperD?  What brand and model was it?

      I suggest you contact Sharp and find out if your printer is compatible with your OS.

      Kemdas model # doesn't even exist....may be why the driver search is futile...
