Title: okidata c6199n
Post by: rgold01 on October 29, 2009, 07:17:27 PM

just got one from radio shack they are selling their store printers.  The problem is they put some proprietary software on it which locks it so you can not print color.  I called Okidata and they can not help and they are aware of the problem.  Is there a way so i can just totally restore the firmware i have been looking but all i can find is drivers and that is it.  Any help would be appreciated

yes been there done that, it seem Radio Shack put some software on the printer and Okidata said there is nothing they can do.  there must be a way to just reformat the printer but i cant seem to find anything that tells you how.
