    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!

    Got it worked out, after trying everything I could think of (Except
    standing on my head and yodeling). :-)
    I started looking through all the files in the folder where I had
    installed the Oki C51200GDEA.exe driver and finally found an inf file,
    on a hunch I right clicked on it and there was an *install* option, So I clicked it and then went back to devices and printers page and there it was,Thank all the Deities that I got it working again.
    The path was Okidata> c5150_5200 >English >gdi >32 or 64 bit
    Ok7242he.inf >right click install.
    That was a great feeling as that printer was $700.00 when I bought it
    and its been trouble free for all those years.
    I don"t know exactly what caused the problem or why that fixed it, But
    i do know from years back that an inf file with an install option is
    always worth a try.

    Thanks to all who tried to help.

    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.
