Previously, I had always purchased and utilized HP printers and had been very pleased with the performace and value based on initial purchase price and cost of replacement cartridges. But when it came time to purchase a new printer I decided to review comparable printers available from other manufacturers and became interested in the Xerox P8ex due to it's features, additional memory, price and the Xerox name.

I Recently purchased a new computer with Windows ME. When I tried to download the correct driver for my 18 month old Docuprint P8, I found that Xerox has yet to release drivers for Windows ME.

Best of luck to anyone who purchases this when Windows XP comes out this fall.

Please be careful! This is a printer of 1999!!, and 'THERE ARE NO DRIVERS' for Windows 7,Vista and even for Win XP ... How is it possible that they sell a printer that is no longer compatible with any current operating system today??, and that also Xerox ends to give support and software to this printer, for over 12 years??.... Sorry for my english.
