"Don't try this on XP it causes all sorts of problems. One has to edit the .ini files to sort it out. In my view (at the moment) I don't think this old printer works with XP. Pity really as its nice and small."

"Still recommending Op4whyxe.exe because it makes the Okipage 4w work perfect with XP Prow, BUT, now I notice that I get an error message, "PN217B Driver - VhsD not installed. Check System.ini under (386nh) for VHSD.386" when opening My Computer, when opening some other proggys and have to click thru it, BUT the bottom line is that the Okipage 4w prints perfectly

"Bob The problem is that what they send as Win95 driver is actually a Win3.1 driver (bit by bit), although it works on Win95, too, but it is a 16-bit driver. If someone has a programmer friend, I think the best thing would be to ask him/her to retailor the OL-4W driver to fit to OL-400W (the former is the follow-up of the latter, and is very similar in behaviour and build-

"This printer is really good, but its driver is NOT! I got it with my first computer (486 Bravo) and it still is good for text printing. But the drivers are still the old windows 3.11 drivers, so it seems to run at old 16-bits code. This really bugs my new computer out (400 Mhz Celeron). When the printer manager is running in win 98, it keeps the CPU running constantly @ 1

"Problem 1 The 'unable to Register with the VxD' error message is because the installation sometimes renames the file in the OL400W directory called VHSD.386 to VHSDTMP.386. If you rename it back to VHSD.386, the error message will go. Problem 2 Open the WIN.INI file (with wordpad) and delete the line near the beginning that loads the program MONITOR.EXE. That will get
