Have Digital (DEC) DEClaser 5100 printer. Someone at - it a compatible driver for Win7-64? cc = us

The only suggestion I can find on the internet is to get the driver to a Windows XP Home 64 bit edition installation disc, but I don't have one of those and do not know where I could get one.

OK, I have this morning, I tried (as dansdaduk suggestts) just use the W7-64 driver for the HP LaserJet 4/4 M PS driver on my system. I thought about it earlier, but had tried to install the printer as a network printer. Windows would never let me choose this driver because it does not match the network printer. This time I come to install a local printer with this driver. I used LPT3: and he redirected in the same way as previously (see below) and it worked without buckle. All that bad and I was could have in 5 minutes.

Reading to see my first solution and some background information...

I got 64-bit PostScript HP Universal print driver on the HP support site. (Just specify W7 - 64 as your operating system and research of this description)

As part of the installation of the driver he walked me adding a printer, but I went wrong.   So I just clicked on "Add a printer" the driver installed and selected manufacturer: "HP" and printers: "HP Universal printing PS".  My printer is physically attached to an XP system with a parallel cable and is shared on the network, so I installed the printer on my W7 system as a local printer on LPT2: and used this command to redirect in the CMD window:

NET use LPT2: "\\server\sharename" / persistent: yes

Make sure you do NOT try to redirect LPT1: you'll probably all sorts of problems.

It has connected to the printer, but then I got an error on the printer:

"This job requires more memory that it does not exist in this printer".  I have 6MB in my printer, so I put it in the printer properties.  I also crossed and turned off the features that I didn't and specified PS level 1 and optimize for portabiliity.  I still have the error of memory so I searched the error text and find a resolution of MS to: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/248397 who showed me how to change the Option to download TrueType fonts to Bitmap and everything seems to work now.
