I recently purchased a Dell Studio XPS with Windows 7 and have been unsuccessful in connecting my magicolor 2300DL printer. Any assistance in solving this problem would be appreciated. Thank you.

Consider installing Linux Mint 64bit version. You can get it here for free https://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=mint and
Say goodbye to BSD's from Microsoft.

hi

you can retrieve your drivers (up to Win98 to Winodws Vista 32 bit only) , see link below.

hope this helps you

I suggest the first place for you to look is the Windows Hardware Compatability List. If your printer is supported, it will be listed. If your printer is not supported under Windows 7, you may be out of luck ...

Find the list here: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/compatibility/windows-7/en-us/default.aspx

Somewhere on magicolor's website my husband read that the driver will be available in July 2010 for the magicolor 2300. It's what I have too. Am keeping my older computer and printing from it for the time being.

go back to the printer's website, support drivers, and see if they have the updated drivers ready on that site.
does not look like windows 7 is on there..try the support email link to see if that's in the queue.

Two Minolta 2300DL windows 7 64-bit solutions(choose oneoption): 1) Download the XP 64-bit driver and extract to a folder: ftp://ftp.minolta-qms.com/pub/crc/out_going/windows/2300d_64b.exe then Control Panel>Devices and Printers>Add aprinter> Add a local printer>choose USB printer port>select the "HaveDisk" button(do not select a printer) and browse navigate to where you savedthe XP 64-bit driver "MLUU_DRV.inf" driver file which installs and worksfine. Only issue is now have a 3 minutewait delay for each print job using the universal driver compared to no delaywhen printing with XP. OR 2) Follow the Vista USB port(not network) install guide butstill use the XP 64-bit driver. ftp://ftp.minolta-qms.com/pub/crc/out_going/manuals/misc/km_vista_instruct.pdf 3) 32-bit option use the Vista 32-bit driver first as thatshould work.

Hello

This is a official vista driver and it should work, see the readme file also.

Hi, I was searching for this driver on the Internet and it seems to be your lucky day, here I found the IDT drivers for Audio, http://rapidshare.com/files/190141494/PIDT001.zip for Windows XP for the Studio XPS 1640, now because this computer was designed for Windows Vista, Dell will not be responsible for the use of this driver, nor any future damage that it might cause, not that I've seen the case, but Online forums state that this driver is 100% working with no issues, if you happen to have one, please let me know, the link is a rapidshare download server, just follow the instruction on the free user and go ahead. Regards. P.S. Here are the Dell Drivers for Vista, in case when Windows 7 comes out you want to just do the upgrade option with vista, and it should solve everyones issues. http://support.dell.com/support/downloads/driverslist.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=gen&ServiceTag=&SystemID=STUDIOXPS16&os=WLH&osl=en&catid=&impid=

Try to use 32/64bit printer driver (PPD only) for Windows 2000, XP, 2003 and Vista for 2350.

I am using Vista 64 and a 2300DL in the same manner as abertola003. I downloaded the Latest driver from Konica Website and everything is working well.
the driver is named Konica-Minolta 2300DL (unidrv)
