Adding an OKI printer to a Mac

Recently taken delivery of a cheap OKI laser printer (a B2200). Having installed the latest drivers form the site the printer would no 'add' as normal (which is System Prefs/Print & Fax?Click the + button/Choose default printer) - the driver would not appear here. So I went to 'More printers' in the same dialog. OKI USB was available here in the dropdown menu (the printer should be connected by USB cable) - you need to select it in the dropdown, then in the list that appears, and click 'Add'. A bit longwinded, but the printer now functions perfectly (and is really good value for money, to buy and to run). Shame about the drivers...

  1. Need help.
    Just managed to clear all my printers from my list and am now trying in vain to add my OKI 3200 to the list.

    No driver can be found in the list. I have downloaded drivers from OKI but they never appear in this list and I don't know where to go from here.rca
