Old NEC Printer on Win2k?

Ravagin asks: "I am deeply in love with my Dell Inspiron 8100 running Windows 2000. I have a perfectly good NEC Silentwriter SuperScript 610Plus that I want to use; however, NEC's support site has nothing for Windows 2000 (the 610plus win95/98 drivers return a Windows version error). It's supposed to be HP LaserJet IIP compatible, but I've had no luck getting that to work. Google hasn't helped, either. Does anyone have any useful experience or sites for getting this old, 'unsupported' printer to play nice with Win2k?"

OT Rant: When did this become a support line? by Viqsi · 2001-11-21 01:32 · Score: 4, Insightful

From what I understand "Ask Slashdot" is supposed to be a section in which questions that might be of interest to a Large part of the geek readership here are placed.

Most of what I've been seeing here lately, though, is what amounts to tech support requests.

Don't we have, like IRC channels and message boards for that sort of thing? Why put it on /.?
