Sony Photo Printer Drivers, Demos, Tutorials

Our tech team has been very busy so far this holiday season supporting our customers. One of the issues that has come up frequently has to do with Sony printer drivers. With the introduction of Mac OS 10.6 Snow Leopard, several flavors of Windows 7, a new Sony printer, 32 bit vs. 64 bit – well it’s been enough to spoil some of the Holiday cheer. There are solutions but it is hard to find the right information online. This post is our effort to organize information and links having to do with Sony printers in one place. If you find any discrepancies or have anything to add please leave a comment below.

Considering a new computer?

In general, we still recommend using Windows XP. If you have to buy Windows 7, try to get the Pro edition. If you can avoid it, don’t upgrade to Windows 7 until after your holiday events. If you are using a Mac be aware that there may be certain limitations, especially when it comes to installing firmware upgrades.

Sony UPDR200

Windows: Recommended OS for the Sony UPDR200  is Windows XP. If you are running Windows 7 32-bit, use the XP/Vista driver. If you are running Windows 7 64-bit then use the Vista 64-bit Edition driver.
