Far to much worry and work until you have tried running your printer
software on a newer (not nessary new machine)
Running new computers with the latest OS and putting it into
'compatibilty' mode works in very many cases.


It tends to work with application software but device drivers are
another matter. Vista and Win7 both orphaned a lot of perfectly good
hardware because the makers could not be bothered to provide drivers.

At least try , you may be surprised. Fingers crossed
