Hi

try install a new driver if your win 10 doesn't recognise it from here.

You sure you bought a laser and not a dot matrix printer? OKI 390 is a dot matrix and it's a completely different technology to a laser. Surprisingly there is a driver for Windows 10 on the website

The OKI 390 comes up as a Dot Matrix as already said.


Could it be a 930 Laser?
