Sharp AL-1217, looking for Windows 10 drivers

[Anders J]

I cannot find Windows 10 drivers for the Sharp AL-1217, b/w laser.

The printer is connected via USB to a computer running Windows 2000 professional.
The computer is on a LAN.
I want to print from a networked Windows 10 machine.

Thankful for suggestions?

Driver here:

Windows 7 driver should work with Win 10 with no problem.

Or

You can try the EZ-way method here:

I tried the suggested driver.
No luck, however.
W10 can not find the *.inf file it needs.

Try EZ-Way method just to see what happens. Perhaps you have Win 10 problem.

EZ-Way assumes the printer is USB-connected to Windows 7.
My PC runs Windows 2000.

Your previous specifies Windows 10.
"W10 can not find the *.inf file it needs."
Which is it??? (Win 10 or Win 2000)

I believe my first post describes the situation.

You might query Sharp directly.
