Old printer on Windows 10
« on: September 08, 2023, 06:56:56 PM »
I just upgraded my brother's computer to Windows 10 but I cannot install the printer. Is there a method I can use or is this printer toast?

It's not very busy here now. When I first started with Evil I would spend almost 3 hours a day helping people. Now, it's just a matter of checking in.

I've seen it happen before when the owner all but abandons the site and stops promoting it.
