Printcountry.com is excited to announce the 1 millionth download from their free printer driver download tool on December 24th 2007. No more will printer users be in the situation where they need that very important driver to make the printer work, Printcountry.com has taken care of everything.
The "printer driver" situation is one that many run into at one time or another. A box pops up on the computer screen commanding the installation of the printer driver. The user then moves on to the manufacturer's website and, although they say that driver downloads are available on their site, it isn't there. This mostly happens when the printer is an older model and the manufacturer has removed it from the site to make room for newer models.
This is especially true for those still utilizing the Windows 98 Operating System. In July 2007, HP no longer offered printer driver downloads for Windows 98, Windows 98 Second Edition, or Windows ME. This creates a problem for those who have acquired new printers and are in need of drivers. Then there are those who have older printers and are using the Windows Vista Operating System. Windows Vista users have most likely discovered that they have difficulty acquiring Windows Vista Compatible printer drivers for their older printer.
