can t get printers work

I have tried to install 2 different printers (Konica Minolta Magicolor 2400W color laser and the Dell A920 laser jet) but with no luck. There were no updated drivers at the manufacturers websites. The only printer that has come close to working is the Konica Minolta Magicolor 2400W. It sends the job to the print spooler, but it lists the print job as 'Local Downlevel Document' and doesn't print. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Also, is there a list of Vista friendly printers?

There isn't a specific list, I recommend doing a google search or do a search on common brand websites such as HP, Canon and Epson. I have been lucky enough to have all my three printers a HP Deskjet 840c, Canon i320 (USB) and a Lexmark Z11 work right out of the box with Vista. -- -- Andre Windows Connected | http://www.windowsconnected.com Extended64 | http://www.extended64.com Blog | http://www.extended64.com/blogs/andre http://spaces.msn.com/members/adacosta

Hmmm... and yet my Apple Stylewriter II still seems to have issues...

i am having this exact same problem with the Konica Minolta 2400w. I have submitted a bug report. If you really need to get something to print, I seem to be able to get the document to print by restarting. Unfortunately, it freezes on the restart because of the document in queue to print which won't release, but after hitting the reset button the document seems to print as the PC restarts. I can get one document to print at time, any other documents in the queue are lost after the restart.
