Besides, you may face compatibility issues when using dongles and converters to plug old connectors into modern motherboards. Also, do note that old printers may have a hard time working with modern computers and the latest operating systems. Go to the manufacturer’s website and download the newest supported drivers from there. Still, it is a good practice to manually install the driver to ensure the best compatibility. Modern printers nowadays are plug-and-play, which means Windows automatically gets the required drivers.
