There are. Download I_PCL5MS.EXE from the MS web site www.microsoft.com. Run 
the file in a separate directory and create the printer using "other" and 
direct the computer to look for the directory for the driver. The self 
extracting file supports the 850C 855C and the 870C printers. As usual, the 
drivers suck and do a minimal job. Hopefully zenographics will come out with 
a Color Smart compatible driver for the 870 soon, They may already have one 
for the 850C. Check out www.zeno.com. Look at superprint 4.0

Let me know if you learn more!
