I need 64bit drivers for Konica Minolta 2300DL Laser printer for Windows 8

I just got my magicolor 2300 from a state sell today. I saw where some=one said to set it up as a network printer and use 2430dl driver. It works!!! on Win 8.1.  You have to set the network addr up in the menu with the menu select buttons on top of the printer. Then with the driver I had to say a local printer then create a new tcp port. Set it as the same addr you used on the printer. You need to know what addr your network is you are installing the printer into. Mine is a standard home network 192.168.1.1 some people may have 192.168.0.1. I set the printer to 192.168.1.20 so it would be high enough not to overlap the dynamic addrs. To bad this printer is printing in just Blue.  Well thats my 2 cents good luck...

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community and giving us an opportunity to assist you.

Unfortunately, for Konica Minolta 2300DL no drivers are available for Windows 8 and the device is not compatible with Windows 7 & 8 Operating Systems.

However, you may go ahead and install the drivers for Windows Vista in compatibility mode and check the printers’ functionality.

Install the driver in Compatibility mode:

a.       Download the printer driver for Windows Vista from the manufacturer’s website and save it on your local disk.

c.       Select “Compatibility” Tab.

d.      Place a check mark next to “Run this program in Compatibility mode” and select Windows Vista from the drop down list.

e.      Let the driver install and then check the functionality.
