Default Printer Drivers - Win7 Problem
A bit of a long shot but here goes :

I have the samsung CLX-2160 MFP and the drivers will not install on Windows 7.
I have been to the samsung site and grabbed the various drivers (there is no win7 specific drivers so i grabbed the 64 bit versions) but none work.

I am on the 64 bit version of Win7.

Does anyone know how to get my printer to work or will i have to downgrade back to XP ???

Hi lasto

Take a peek here, Not a samsung Print (HP i think?) But the gist of it it still the same

http://blogs.technet.com/mkleef/arch...p-printer.aspx

and here http://www.techtalkz.com/windows-7/5...ndows-7-a.html

I think you may need to install the driver manually as oppose to letting windows do it, Have you tried manually ??

You can also, from Windows 7, Just right-click on the setup file and click on "Properties." Then select the "compatibility" tab. Select the "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" and choose Vista. Click "OK."

Now, right-click on the file and select "Run as administrator."

It should run fine!!! Hopefully

Try the 32-bit version and make sure you have the Vista drivers set.

I was able to install their universal print driver on Windows 7 without problems. Can't test it though because I wouldn't even know where to get a Samsung printer at. I have never seen them for sale at any store locally.
