Yes Keith, that is the driver file I linked in my first post. Runnig that file created a folder with .ppd files, an .ini file and no .exe files. But what I did not do was run that downloaded .exe file in compatibility mode. So I have one more thing to try.

Not so fast! I got excited that it installed and printed a test page and posted before checking things. It only prints in black and white, no color. I tried a bunch of different model printer drivers. Only the Phaser printer models worked and they all installed the same driver. Opening...

TA DA!:dinesh: At devices and printers choose add printer. At the choose your printers window click windows update to get the entire list of printers with Windows 8 support. If your printer is not in the list select a different model printer with a similar model number. In my case I picked...
