Windows 11 Does not recognize my OKI C6100 Laser Printer

Desktop HP Z240
Windows 11 Pro, Ver 24H2, Build 10.0.26100, 4652

My OKI printer was running fine under compatibility mode in Windows 10. Using the OEM disk supplied with the printer Windows 11 barely starts the setup process. I went to the Okidata site and did not find any driver for my model. The printer works flawlessly, I have backup toner cartridges and I hate to get rid of it just because it doesn't work in Win 11. I have done searches and found nothing that works. I've tried the compatibility mode in Win 11 also and that don't work. If there is another work around that will get it working I am open to try any suggestions.

The printer does not have wireless capability. It's only connection option is USB. I think I'd have to buy a special kit to make it wireless and not sure it's even available.
Any help appreciated.

What specific Oki printer is it?

Was it not automatically recognized by Windows 10, without compatibility mode?

I remember the same thing occurring in Windows 10 but when I checked Compatibility mode it installed. I have gone to that link before. I did not attempt to download those because of the earlier Build version. Not knowing that much about this stuff, I thought they would've been done since I'm at the higher Version of 4652.

This kinda tells you, time maybe up for this printer.

I have 12x year old graphics cards, that Win 11 24H2, still runs fine with, so if you turn off pc, attach printer and restart pc, and it doesn't automatically recognize printer, and install drivers...


Hmmm...

This is the dialog I get after apply backwards compatibility.

Im pretty sure that your answer lies on this page...
oki printer compatability with Windows 11

Thanks for that recent input. However that is the same as the link provided by silvio. I'm thinking my good OKI C6100 is destined for someone who is still running Win 8 or Win 10. Thanks for all your input. BTW I did email Okidata several days ago and waiting for a reply.
