sharp JX9660PS laser printer

this is an old laser printer and would like to know if it's possible to
make it run under windows XP , this printer does not appear in the list of
printers

thx

There is a possibility that it will run.
Will the printer emulate another printer such as Epson, HP, Postscript, etc?
If so, and the driver for the Sharp printer is not available from the Sharp
web site (If there is one), you may be able to use an emulated printer's
driver. A last resort might be to use the general text printer driver
furnished by Microsoft.
You will not use the automatic install process, and instead use the I will
select path.
Things get more difficult and involved if the printer is something other
than a parallel printer. (USB, Serial, Infrared, Firewire, etc)
You may also need to change the parallel port mode to SPP from ECP in BIOS.
Although this article is written for 64 bit windows editions, it describes
printer emulation in windows.

Did you look on Sharp's website for drivers for Windows 2000? If they have
them, they should work.

windows 2000 already have this driver included in it but nothing listed
for any sharp printer in XP since 200 have it
and there is nothing in sharp web site like they never manufactured those
printer or any laser printer

Does the PS in the printer name indicate the personality (language) the
printer will consume? It this device supports PostScript, pick one of the
Apple or HP PS models. The tray names won't necessarily match but it tray
one pulls from your tray one it will not matter.
