Incomplete Win7 OS cannot get printer working ADDENDUM

Just was given a Win7 box with Enterprize on it.

When I try to add my old panasonic dot matrix printer for which I do not
have any setup disk but which works perfectly under XP and is listed in
the XP printer list, I find that this 7 OS (for which I do not have the
install disk) does not list Panasonic.

When I click on update printer files, I get a message saying wait till
Windows updates the files, should take a few minutes. But I do not yet
have a net connection so if this is an online update I cannot do it.

Is there anyway to get a more complete driver list for printers for
Win7. The Mfg is not releasing updates for this dinasour but very good
printer (yeah panasonic!). I have searched and searched for a driver for
this Kx-p2123 printer but all I find is spyware sites pretending to have
the driver while trying to get u to download their malware.

HELP!

Sorry I should have added that I can download from my XP machine so if
the driver software for this printer can be accessed please supply me an
url. I do not trust doing online updates with MS anyways, so unless I
can find a zip file with the printers update, probably will not install
it. This looks like another way for MS to mess with your computer to get
your printer working under Win7

Your type will never seize to amaze me.
If you don't trust Microsoft then don't use Windows.

I had a tiny bit of sympathy for your situation until that last part.
Follow Seth's advice, hope for the best, and good luck with your life.

If you go to the following URL you will see that there is NO PLAN to
support your printer under Windows 7.

"seize"???? You must be an OS developer for MS?

Driver support for printers and other hardware is the responsibility of
the hardware manufacturer, not Microsoft. If you have a problem with
that, complain to Panasonic.

If you READ he OP (if you can read?) you will see the OP said
there were no drivers at the Panasonic page.

BUT, Microsoft will provide one if you allow Windows 7 to retrieve the
additional drivers from Microsoft support.
