I can't see you getting a x64 driver for an Eltron as they were discontinued long ago, in XP I have Eltons running on Zebra 2824 drivers, I have had a quick look at zebra's site and they do have vista drivers although they do not say if they are x64 and I'm getting ready for work and dont have the time to mess now, have a look and let us know.

z3r010,
Thanks for the suggestion! I downloaded the "Zebra Universal Driver v5.5.7.19" and also " ZebraDesigner Driver (Compatible with Windows Vista)".
However, neither would install on my x64 system. The Universal Driver shows a list of printers to install, appears to install some driver files, but after selecting the port, I get a "The environment specified is invalid" error and that's that.
The ZebraDesigner driver (supposedly Vista compatible) doesn't even show a list of printers in the setup program. If I use the standard "Add a printer", I'm told the driver folder doesn't contain a compatible driver.
The interesting part is, that in the "prnlist.txt" file that accompanies the driver, the very first line is this:
"Windows Drivers for ZDesigner(Windows 2000, XP, 2003, XP 64-bit, 2003 64-bit)".
<rant> I don't see why there would be any difference between an XP 64bit printer driver and a Vista 64bit printer driver. I mean, we're not talking a cluster raid driver, it's just a printer!
</rant> sorry...
I will continue my search and if I find something, I'll post here.
