Windows XP was a highly successful line of 32-bit and 64-bit operating systems released in 2001 by Microsoft for use on PCs. Superseded by Windows Vista in 2007, Windows XP was officially discontinued for direct OEM and retail sales in June 2008. XP is still available via “downgrade rights”, however, and Microsoft will support it until April 2014. Over 400 million copies are still in use.
QualityLogic has developed test files for virtually every Windows XP application that your enterprise will use. IT groups all over the world use these test files to ensure compatibility of new XP printer drivers prior to deployment in the enterprise.
QualityLogic provides two types of tests to help you ensure the compatibility of printers or MFPs you plan to purchase with Windows XP:
