i recently installed windows vista ultimate and ive had a hard time getting it to recognize the samsung ml2010 printer. ive tried what was suggested here and elsewhere and nothing worked. i did however get it recognize my printer locally when i installed it as a dell1100 and it works (aka prints). however, the printer belongs to a network and i cant find a driver anywhere that will work. each time i try the driver from here
i get the error, "cannot install kernel mode driver".
I tried disabling "Disallow installation of printers using kernel-mode drivers" but still no luck.
any suggestions would be appreciated but ive tried a lot of them.
SOFTWARE FIREWALL
also could someone suggest a good software firewall that will work with vista, i have ZA 6.XX and it will not install as well. maybe im missing something to get it work.
FAX MODEM
i have a pci 56.6k modem (I201/I202 V.90 ambient(intel) controller-less Modem I101H) that i used on my old machine and it works fine on windows xp. its about 7 years old and i tried using the old drivers but sure enough it didn't work with vista. no luck finding a vista driver using google. maybe someone could suggest a way around this or at least a cheap fax modem. i do a lot of faxing. thanks in advance
