Okidata C3400N Driver

Anyone know where I can get the print driver for OKIDATA C3400N printer? Or if there is another driver that is compatible? Okidata website does not have it out yet.

MacBook Pro, OS X Yosemite (10.10)

I have exactly the same problem and was without a printer for several days. Yesterday I found by chance a document on an OKI web page (OKI printer driver compatibility with Mac OS X Mavericks and Yosemite rev.5) which states that the printer should work when connected via USB cable. I did try it and it actually did the trick: I can print again, if not via my network.

What I found interesting is OKI's statement in this document, that "TCP/IP support is under consideration." So they actually consider the option of updating the printer driver? How very kind and customer oriented!

What is the secret to get it working over USB connected to AirPort Extreme? I plugged it into my Airport Extreme router via USB and it is seen and sets up quickly but wont print. Keeps giving me unable to send data or printer offline.... I deleted the printers, reset the printer data, rebooted, reinstalled... I even plugged it USB into my MAC and cant get it to print USB...

I was able to get it to work. I have my USB cables running in the walls of my new office. Apparently the run is too long because if I connect directly across my office it works fine. I am still annoyed I cannot set it up as an IP printer like it was. I had to totally change my set up and run new USB cables and add a USB Hub. That shouldnt have to happen! I will never put my money into an OKI product again.

EDIT: Found this. Has anyone tried this and been able to get it to work. Indicating 10.8 driver will work somewhat, but Yosemite wont let me install it as it says incorrect version when I try.

I assume this is connected USB only? Did you get it to work as a network printer?

Yes, mine will print over USB.

A very dissatisfying reply by Okidata indeed. A kind of planned obsolescence. I do not think I will buy another OKI printer.

Great, philfromto, thanks for the idea! I followed your suggestion and can print over my airport network again. Perfect.

Still I am pretty annoyed with Okidata for their policy.
