My printer went out and I am stuck with Windows 2000 for the time being. No new printers I saw today had Win2000 listed in their specs. All are for Windows XP, Vista, 7 and 8.

Anyone know how to connect Win2000 computer with one of those printers, or any other low dollar printer? Or where to find a decent older printer?

These are the printers I saw today, all for XP and later....

Canon MG2220
Canon MG 3520
HP 2512

Before USB, I used a Canon BJC-5100 for years until it wore out. I would be happy with simple printer like that one.

Do any of the major printer makers have Win2000 drivers for their new machines? Even if the old OS computer only make up <5% of the market, they are still losing a decent amount of sales.

You'd be much better off going to a printer forum like
www.fixyourownprinter.com where there are a lot of people using older
computers who should be familiar with the Windows 2000 drivers.
