Printer driver not available in Windows Update
I posted elsewhere earlier that when I tried to install an OKI C511 printer in Win 7 Home Premium (32 bit) it could not find a driver in Windows Update. This is puzzling since I had installed the same printer on another Win7 computer and the driver was found in update.
I've now gone into OKI's website and followed their advice about installing a plug and play printer; when I tried the first part of installing the same printer on another Win7 computer to the point where I select OKI from the list of manufacturers, it does list the C511 as one available through Windows 7. (I did not proceed beyond that as I did not want to complete the installation on that computer).
So why did not the Win 7 on which I was trying to install this printer not pick it up? And, I am never offered any Optional Updates on that computer either (although I have the "Give me recommended updates..." box checked).
I would really welcome any suggestions about these problems.
Regards
John
