I know how you feel because I had to discontinue using my previous printer due to no Win7 support, but have you at least tried the ones provided by Kyocera?

When I google "KM-4850w driver", the first entry is a link to the kyocera (.eu) download page that seems to list the driver you seek.
I lack a kyocera plotter to test it with though... so maybe it's not that simple 🙂
You'll need to contact the source of those drivers for help with them: is there a limitation on seeking technical support from the source?
What is your exact challenge? Unlike your statement, the manufacturer is the one supplying this Winprint driver. I don't think your issue is the downloaded driver, the one I downloaded has a detailed PDF file on how to install nd use it.. is there an option to pay your local rep to visit on site and assist?
If it's an Internet Explorer issue with configuring the plotter, try setting the plotter URL in IE for compatibility view. That might get it to work.
Excellent! I am happy to hear you got it working, and thanks for posting back what you did. It's sure to help someone else.
Dear Mr. bruce.thelin ,
I`m from Argentina and I`m having the same problem as you had. My Windows 7 64 bits cannot comunicate with the km4850w. I have tried Vista version of the KM Port Monitor unsuccessfully. I am running out of options.. is there a possibility that you could email me the port monitor version you have? I am afraid my local rep cannot help me more than it has.
I think you know this, but maybe it is useful for you: the HDI drivers for Autocad up to 2011 version for km4800 (the newer model) work very well with the km4850. I have plotted thousands of copies (in windows xp, 32 bits, of course!).
Thanks in advance.
If I can be helpful in some way for you, please let me know.
Thank you,
Sincerely,
Marco Maiulini
I'm sorry Marco, I don't actually have this printer, so I can't give you any details on the driver configuration. The solution from the original poster was to update to new Kyocera software, so I would suggest contacting them.
