"It was a struggle to get this driver loaded. Afterwards I found a website "BJC Angel" which makes the BJC 5100 work on Windows XP like a charm.

So , first install driver , then install BJC Angel."

When XP opens a window for the location of the driver, open the location where the driver is and the inf file will be selected. After you click OK, the file will load. Pretty straight forward after that. Hope that helps"

This is important, since most printing should be done in black only draft until color is really needed. What did you mean by ".... select the program under a W2K configuration in the software directory"?"
