I have a terrific Sony dpp fp55 dye sublimation printer that worked great until Sony decided not to update the drivers for Windows 7. This is the second time I have had a Sony product, the last was a laptop Vaio, and Sony stopped keeping up with drivers for new operating systems.

I did make a work around. First I hammered the VAIO until it was flat and the disk drive could not be used to gather any information. With the sony dpp fp55, I did better. I used my desktop computer with Windows 7 professional to pass all the photos that I wanted to print to a memory card on my Toshiba laptop. That was easy. Then I moved the card to my sony dpp fp55 printer and printed my photos from the memory card. Works fine. Not a big convenience. I also decided to take that hammer to my thumb if I ever bought another Sony product with their Sony Corporation plan of obsolescence, by not keeping up with drivers for their products. I know they have the ability but when you call, they just offer you a new printer. No way, baby. I don't like their business philosophy or their hand in my pocket.

Sony DPP-FP30 do not work with wista

Sony says DPP-FP30 is compatible with Vista (both 32-bit and 64-bit) and that the printer driver is included in the Microsoft Windows Vista operating system.
However red-eye reduction, Exit Print, Auto Fine Print, enlarging preview, and reducing preview are not supported.

My sony dpp-fp55 leave 2/3 of the paper white while printing

They are thinking the cartridges are dirty or the heads. I am thinking it is a setting for the printer or an actual glitch in the printing program. If you have successfully printed on this printer before, then very carefully go through the settings, looking for print margins settings specifically. This sounds simple but you might want to make sure your paper trays are adjusted correctly.

Cannot find the driver for mac for sony DPP-FP60

Export your photo from iphoto to a usb stick. Then stick that into the printer´s usb port. Use the menu of the printer to make any last corrections (size, brightness, borders etc). Works with both RAW and JPEG. Good luck. /Anders

the printer needs a proper servicing and dust cleaning done.as there is a sensor in the printer which detects whether there is paper ,or no paper in the paper tray ,that sensor is moved from its orignal position so this problem is coming.but servicing and cleaning will help.
