Some people may have noticed that I have been desperately seeking advice about being able to run this printer with W2k with little response, well the answers have become clear.
After so many wasted hours of expensive phone calls I finally convinced xerox to send me a different machine so they replaced the C8 with an M760 which was the model that followed it.
Surprise surprise while the enclosed disc did not have a designated w2k driver it loaded and ran perfectly with the nT driver from the disc.
Even after years messing around with hardware you can still be misled.
The Xerox support centre in Ireland was always polite but insisted on pursuing avenues that I knew were not going to solve the problem, the amount spent on telephone calls to the help line was far in excess of the cost of the printer not to mention the many hours I spent reloading drivers etc.
The fact is that xerox did not properly develop this driver for w2k as they already had the M750/60 printers on the way when w2k was launched, this is unprofessional and bad practice so as this is the first time I have been able to prove something like this (admitted by a xerox tech) I would advise people to consider very carefully before buying any xerox products let alone dektop items.
