Communicator C2 Drivers
I'm trying to install a Toshiba eStudio163 multifunction printer (MFP), but keep receiving a 'C2 driver error' message when I try and print. I feel like I have all of the current drivers for the device, but it seems that WinXP still doesn't recognize theprinter or that it might recognize, but it's not sure. I think that the C2 driver controls the communication between the desktop and the printer, at least that's what I've discovered on-line.
The printer in connected via USB, if that makes any difference.If I can figure out how to update the C2 driver or install it or work around it, I think the printer will work. Does anyone have any idea what I am talking about? Can someone of great intelligence help me out, because I know enough about computers to reallymess them up!

Use a USB2.0 Hi-Speed certified cable. The equipment is connected with a PC via a USB hub.Solution. When the equipment is connected with a PC via a USB hub, the equipment may not be recognized.
Connect it with a PC directly by a USB cable.So you might have a cable problem.Download the manual from here. Thanks X, I don't know what they mean when they say 'press the PRINTER hard key on the control panel.' I don't see a PRINTER key on the control panel on the printer itself. I did download the GA-1190/1191 controlers, but haven't done anything with themyet.
