Workcentre 7435 Properties Panel

[John A · Accepted solution]

I figured out the solution. 

In case anyone else has the same issue here is the fix.

Control Panel > Devices & Printers > (Select your Printer) > Customize Your Printer > Administration

Make sure "Configuration" is set to your printer type.  Mine is a Workcentre 7435, but it was set to "Basic Printing". Changed it to Workcentre 7435 and my printer is back to normal.

Thanks for your help!

Hi again!

Try printing a config report from the printer, just to see if the extra features are installed correctly.

Tried those suggestions with no luck.

My other 7435 is the using the same driver as the broken one. Could that mean it's not the driver?

Hi again!

Do you have another computer you can try installing the driver on?

Have you checked that the finisher or that the correct settings are set under the configuration tab?

And under "advanced/driver" you'll have an option for advanced printing features, could it be that it's been disabled?

I've resinstalled the driver multiple times, and even tried using different drivers. No luck.

Hi!

Have you tried reinstalling the driver, could be that it is corrupted?

A while ago my printer stopped giving many of the options I would normally have in the Properties Panel.

My "broken" panel.

My working panel for my other printer. (This has a finisher, the other does not, but they used to look identical minus the finishing option.)

Does anyone know what causes this issue?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
