Peter..
If you download the appropriate self installing JV3 driver on the mimaki site you can then print from almost any application if needed.

I’m having the same trouble with a Minolta 2300DL laser printer as i’ve bought a new laptop with windows 7 on. I cannot get the driver, tried loads of different google search solutions with no joy!

Its not supported and i’ve got 3 printers 😥

[Roy Roffey]

Hey John,

Thats what im thinking although there is a drier on the mimaki website????

Windows 7 was`nt my bloody idea !!!!…lol

[John Gregson]

I’d of happily plodded on with xp but the old laptop is on its last legs :lol1:

[David Rowland]

I be amazed if there is a win7 driver Roffs

I have installed the printer driver before…. but not needed for most RIPS

[Roy Roffey]

mee too, the only solution at the mo is running it off a old machine but it has really put a spanner in the work at the moment. I would be interested to know if anyone has overcome this problem tho. Done a google search but no joy as yet..

Can you not install XP on it instead, or make it dual boot so you can go into XP for printing? If you have Windows 7 Professional you can download Windows XP Mode from Microsoft for free.

nice one dave, i will give it a go..

cheers

Its win7 home that came with the lappy but i’ll look into running xp or upgrading – thanks David.

Roy, this free software (https://www.vmware.com/products/player/) will create a virtual machine on Windows 7 where you can install XP independently of Windows 7.
This allows XP to be used on Win 7 Home or Premium.
All you need is a legal XP disk which is quite cheap now. (you can’t use an already registered version).
I am in the same boat with a new Laptop with Win 7 64 bit. Besides giving me general grief over things which XP found a breeze, I have a mass of software which is unusable without installing VMWare Player.
So, no need to dump that old Adobe CS2 etc, just install VMWare Player (free).

Thanks Peter..

Does anyone know if the printer would work with signlab 7.1 on win 7??

havent installed it yet and just thinking of a quick fix at the moment??

[Stephen Morriss]

I was just about to suggest VMware player Peter 🙂

I’ve not used it but I’m told that it works better than the XP mode.

I can’t help with the printer driver though Roy.

Steve

[Roy Roffey]

No worries Stephen,

Just installed it but my XP disc is at home….time to call it a day i think !!!

Hey All..

Friday and a bit stumped..

We are upgrading to windows 7 and have downloaded the driver for our JV3 however when we go to print from corel we cant see the printer??

Any ideas???

A stumped roffers ???????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don’t know if this will work from corel. Was having kinda the same problem but was trying to print from corel, but from production house 7 rips. would open up and it would not see printer. but if I right click on mouse and open production house 7 as a administrator it would recognize the printer and I could print. I know this is out dated but, this for people still having trouble with windows 7 getting printer to recognize printer.

hope this helps

[Roy Roffey]

so does it recognize it as a device and not a printer? thats what im getting..

I’ve installed quite a few Mimaki’s on Windows 7 systems, the only time I’ve had problems with it is when running 64-bit. I think I have run the old v2 driver instead of v3 to get it working but as long as you’re running 32-bit Windows, there shouldn’t be a problem

| am just about to install anew computer with windows 7 so hoping it all goes smoothly.
My friendly computer geek who advises me told me before I bought to make sure the new machine was ordered with Windows 7 Professional, not the home edition.
the windows 7 site also recommends the professional edition which should run all existing programs which ran on XP.
Here is hoping, I’m just trying to find time to do the transfer and upload the programs.
