    Those !!!!!! want £4 for the download though. :/

    Having said that, I couldn't see them anywhere else.
    They say it's genetic, they say he can't help it, they say you can catch it - but sometimes you're born with it

    Yeah, I think it's time to email samsung like they invite you to if you can't find the right driver.

  • Blimey, you weren't kidding. I searched high and low and couldn't find any drivers for the Samsung SF-560 on the web or anywhere else. :eek: I did find a post that seems to explain this conundrum though:

    http://forum.softpedia.com/index.php?showtopic=339605

    My Romanian is non-existent but the poster there seems to be saying that there ain't no official drivers for the SF-560 but that you can use the ones for the SF-565P instead.

    *Edit*: One of the links the Romanian poster gives reads:
    Printer Driver for the Samsung SF-560 Series Multi function printer
    So yeah, that seems to be the answer.
    Edit - Go away for a look and half a dozen people post in the meantime. :)

    Haha, I'm telling you, the minute you decide you're gonna Google a bit to help a poster, all the Techie board zombies come alive :rotfl:. Nice work, btw. You got there too with your Poirot like skills ;)
    The true cost of something is what you give up to get it.
  • No drivers on the Samsung website for the 560, only the user manual.

    There are however drivers for the 565P.
    The file size is for the 565P is the same on that helpdrivers site.

    Edit - Go away for a look and half a dozen people post in the meantime. :)

    The 565P drivers are available for the Samsung site here

    I use a Mac at home not a PC, Only use a PC at work so not fully gend up on XP

    so I don't know if this applies or not, but has anybody running XP checked to see if the drivers are already available within the add printer wizard? :confused:
  • Already checked the windows files and nothing there, the samsung website only the manual, this is crazy,. looks like #4 for a driver:mad:
