San Diego, California – January 02, 2008 – Printcountry.com is excited to announce the 1 millionth download from their free printer driver download tool on December 24th 2007. If you have ever been in the situation where you need that very important driver software for your printer in order for it to work, Printcountry.com has you covered.
The “printer driver” situation is one we all run into at one time or another. A box pops up on our computer screen telling us that we need to install the printer driver. We then move on to the manufacturer’s website and although they tell you that you can go to their site to download the necessary driver, it isn’t there. This mostly happens when your printer is an older model or your computer operating system is not the most popular one and the manufacturer has removed it from the site to make room for newer models.
This is especially true for those still utilizing the Windows 98 Operating System. In July 2007, HP no longer offered printer driver downloads for Windows 98, Windows 98 Second Edition, or Windows ME. This creates a problem for those who have acquired new printers and are in need of drivers. Then there are those who have older printers and are using the Windows Vista Operating System. Windows Vista users have most likely discovered that they have difficulty acquiring Windows Vista Compatible printer drivers for their older printer.
