NEC SuperScript - Recent Questions, Troubleshooting & Support

You need to know the IP on your print server being used by the XP computer. If it did not have one, you would follow the following: https://www.linksys.com/us/support-article?articleNum=137061 https://www.linksys.com/ca/support-article?articleNum=205584 A test page print out may list it. https://www.linksys.com/my/support-article?articleNum=132811

The NEC SuperScript 1260 has a parallel printer port. So you would need a parallel to usb adapter. These aren't very expensive; depending on the brand and length you'll pay between $8 and $15. See https://www.amazon.com/TRENDnet-Parallel-Converter-10-6-10-9-TU-P1284/dp/B0007T27HS or https://www.amazon.com/Sabrent-Parallel-Printer-Adapter-CB-CN36/dp/B00IDU0T1Y Alternatively, if you have a desktop, you can find a PCI or PCI-e add-on card with a parallel port, depending on the slots available in the system. These will be closer to $20 to $30. Then you need a standard parallel printer cable. Many computer parts sites, including Amazon.com, will have both. A bigger problem may be the printer drivers. NEC did not update the drivers after Windows XP. (Some XP drivers will work under Vista.) NEC doesn't supply the drivers on their site: https://support.necam.com/Printers/Drivers/ . They refer you to the original driver CD that came with the printer. A few sites may have these drivers online. However, I haven't seen a link to a known trust-worthy site with the XP driver. I hope this helps. Please add a comment if you need more information. Cindy Wells

Try uninstalling and reinstalling the driver software and cross your fingers with hope that unit is now recognized by your OS.

In a word.... no. The NEC SuperScript 860 is a black and white laser printer. It does not print color.

If you print from MS-WORD, the problem is not the printer.Check if you have defined the print area -> 1. Select the area to be printed. Two. design you page 3. And as you set print area. 4. Prints.

I used the HP LaserJet IIP driver off the WinXP x64 iso. Worked for the SuperScript 1400 in Win 7 x64.

I have the same problem. I have replaced both toner and photoconductor, did not solve the problem. I have been using XP for some time before my printer started acting up.
