Good evening! I'm using a Samsung SF4500 series multi machine. It runs off Windows 98 with no problem. I've changed to Windows XP Pro, but the installation CD was written for W 95/98. Any advice please? Thank you!

Check the Samsung web site to see if they have released drivers to support Windows XP

You can try using the W2K driver they will usually work

Normally, I would recommend that you download the latest driver from Samsung.

However, at least for the US, the SF4500 is not listed as a supported product.

You should see if the Samsung site for your area lists the printer.

Alternately, check the CD for a Windows 2000 driver.

You can 'usually' get the Windows 2000 driver to work in XP.

MANY printer and scanner manufactures DID not create XP drivers for older products.
The policy varies by manufacture, but often set the cut-off point based on models still covered by their warranty.

You may need to get a new Multi-function machine.
