Citizen printer PN48

I have small notebook printer Citizen PN48. The driver is available in
windows XP, but not in the list in Vista Home Premium. I was told, that
the driver that works with NT will work with Vista. I need to get "inf"
printer file for PN48, but I couldnt find one. Whatever I tried to get
from Internet, was without "inf" file and I cant install it. Please help
me, I do not wish to spend $200-300 for the new one, its small, fits in
the briefcase.

Thank you

According to the Citizen Website, for Vista you have to use the

Citizen Swift 240 ESC P/2

driver that's included with Vista.

Tom Lake

You can also install the XP driver if you have the XP install CD

Use Have disk in Vista

Point to XPCD\i386\ntprint.inf

]Hi, fellas. The Swift 240 doesnt work. The Citizen support said tha
LQ-850/LQ-2500 might help, but I dont have them either on my laptop
The window CD I have its for recovery, so I dont know if the fil
XPCD\i386\ntprint.inf accessible. Maybe I should uninstall the Vista an
install the XP, but I dont know how to do that.
My printer has cable with parallel connector and I have the adapter t
USB. So I instal it on USB po virtual port, not LPT. Is it right?

Thanks again

Leo

Good luck with that.

The most reliable USB to parallel conversion cable I have experienced is the
Belkin F5U002.
