JayMan,
this should be done at the server. Do you have the Advanced tab grey out or just the configuration part? If its like image below than its ok. Its because it pickedup information from Bi-Di and recognized the model correctly.
If so, I would suspect a driver instalation issue.
unfortunately your image was not displaying correctly.
I can't pick the configuration on that tab it is grayed out with the secure print options. 5855 is already picked.
this is with the Xerox Global Print Driver PS installed.
If I install the 5855 PS Driver these menus on Administration Work but the Printing Perferences is broken.
Hi JayMan,
first I will assume the driver installation was completed correctly on the server. This means:
- that older drivers were removed correctly and completely (Global and dedicated, like it seems to be the case);
- driver was installed as a local printer (option during instalalation process) and not as network printer;
Having that in mind, in the case of the global print driver it could be that the driver is not pick-up your printer configurations. Please, if all items above are ok, than Right-click the printer and GOTO> Printer Properties> Administration> configurations> Configuration, and select Xerox WorkCenter 5855
After you do that, you should be presented with similar display:
Print Server: Server 2008 R2
Workstations: Windows 7 x64
Issue:
If I install the Global PS x64 drivers the Printing Preferences Menu is broken on my Windows 7 x64 computers. Half the options are missing for printing BUT I can force the printer to require secure print which I needed.
If In install the 5855 PS drivers .The broken Menu is fixed BUT I can't force the printer to always use secure print. The dropdown is gray out in the Printer Properties/Administration Secure Print Only is disabled and grayed out.
Why can't I get a set of working drivers for this printer?

This is what the broken menu looks like.
