Does anyone know where I may find drivers or other software necessary to use
this printer with Windows XP? I realize this is a discontinued model, and I
could find no help on the Kodak website. Thanks in advance.

FIRST TRY LOOKING ON YOUR MS-XP installation disk

According to MS on this page:
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=293380

The driver you need is supplied with XP and it is listed here.

You can download a manual and other documentation from Kodak here:

N.B. The download is via FTP

The printer is old enough that the instructions relate to Win3.0 and Win3.1
but as only printer drivers, they might just as well work under WinXP.

Put the driver above [dd0023.exe] on a floppy disk and install as "add a
printer" in the normal fashion. Alternately you might try the Win95 driver
file [dd0082.exe] as above. See what happens. You can always un-install them
again if they don't work.

You can search Kodak for drivers and other software here:

http://wwwca.kodak.com/global/en/ser...ry/index.shtml
and enter "drivers" in the search box + go - then search again within those
results

The driver might be there, but the Photoshop Export Module isn't. I made
these enquiries myself a few months back, and could find nothing to help
me export from XP to my 8600.

I ended up networking a Win98 box to my new XP set up and printing from
there (though Photoshop).

More recently I have bought the new 8500. Nothing like as expensive as
the 8600/Colorease printers were. And if you do your sums you can work
out how quickly it will pay for itself with the lower cost media, *And*
you get a choice of glossy or matte!
