I know this is an ancient post, but I am trying to locate a copy of the Ok7242he.inf file. I am trying to run my OKI C5200 on Windows 10. I've tried a variety of generic drivers, but nothing is working. I was hoping perhaps your solution would work for me. I can't locate my original installation disks. Thanks so much if you might be able to assist!

If no one can help, and you only want to print a few pages, try
installing an older Windows with a VM (Virtual Machine) on your Windows 10.
Or get a life Linux on an USB stick.

According to <https://www.openprinting.org/printer/Oki/Oki-C5200> Linux
supports it, even if the page is from 2013.

Rene,
Thank you for that post about the .inf file in the Oki installation folder! My old computer, running Windows 10, printed to my Oki C5150 just fine, so I found the installation executable in the old Downloads folder, copied it to the new computer, and ran it. Windows still didn't see the printer, but right-clicking on the "Ok7242he.inf" file and clicking Install got it there.
