What do you do if printer not compatable ?

Your old printer was compatable with OS xp.You have updated your laptop to windows8.1. You want to connect to the printer wireless. What do you do? Is compatablity the main reason why devices which could still be used have to be thrown away? Is this a solution ? Go to the printer website. Look for a patch or firmware upgrade that would make the printer compatable to the latest laptop.

Wireless connectivity with a printer requires that the printer is equipped with the hardware which enables this. Software compatibility is usually achieved by downloading and installing the printer driver for your new operating system (if offered by the manufacturer and most of them do).

Check printer manufactory website for support and download the printer new drivers if its supported. actually I can say that if Microsoft renew the contract with printer company, then it will support that printer if not you can still work under Windows Xp.
