Dear Forum,
I have just purchased a second hand working Phaser 7500 printer. I have printed a "Printer Status" page and a "Language of Colour" demo page from the display menu and they look brilliant. I have been trying to install it to use it with my laptop. Windows 7 (64 bit). Does anyone know exactly which driver I should be using please and if I need to use other drivers in order to use it with my laptop via a USB printer cable. So far I downloded and installed "7500_PPD_Driver_x64_en-US" which didn't work. After installation was completed I requested a test print but it did not print. When I looked at the printer properties - See what's printing it just shows "error printing" but not muchelse in terms of why it didn't print. I tried to print from MS Word and that too did not print.
Can anyone help me with the steps I need to complete to get this amazing machine to work please?
Many Thanks,
Al
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi,
I will recommend you PS driver and to correctly setup the driver (paper settings A4 or 8,5/11, what ever you use).

Thank You for your reply Gabi. I am not so good at technical side of IT. I looked on the Xerox support page for Phaser 7500
https://www.support.xerox.com/support/phaser-7500/downloads/enus.html?operatingSystem=win7x64
and found UNIV_5.703.12.0_PS_x64_Driver.inf I am guessing this is the driver you are recommending.?
If I use the Add a Printer feature of win 7 and select Have a Driver and point it to this that should do the trick?
Would you recommend any additional drivers to install as well as the PS driver?
Thanks again.
Al
Or this one.
After Add Printer, choose Add a Printer using TCP/IP, next set the printer IP, select Next, select Have Disk and browse the location where you downloaded the unziped driver.

Thank You Gabi that seems to have worked and I printed a test print.
