Heya!
The problem seems to be the way the installation process is done.
I'll just provide a guide here and hopefully you will get it to work:
Installation of Local Network driver
1. Download the correct printer driver from the Xerox homepage:
http://www.support.xerox.com/support/engb.html
2. If the driver installer is an .EXE just run the program and follow the instructions.
2:1. If it is an .ZIP file you will need to right click on the file and choose “Extract All” depending on what program you use to extract that file type (t. ex. WinZip / WinRAR / 7zip)
Tip: Remember to pay attention to the install directory; you will need the files later on.
2:2. If using .ZIP files you will need to start the “Add a Printer Wizard” manually.
This is done by going to
Start -> Devices and Printers -> Add a Printer
3. If you have the printer connected to your local network then click on “Add a local printer”
4. Here you check “Create a new port” and choose “Standard TCP/IP Port” as the type.
5. When you click next you will need to enter “IP-Address” and “Port name”.
Tip: Remember to uncheck “Query the printer and automatically select the driver to use”
Hostname or IP address
Enter your machines IP address.
Port Name:
Enter a port name or leave it as default.
If you get a message saying “Port name already exists” just simply enter another name.
6. When done with this just press “Next” and “Finish”. When “Install the printer driver” pops up, press “Have Disk”.
Tip: Never use the old drivers implemented with Windows 7, always select “Have Disk” and use the driver you downloaded.
7. When you press “Have Disk” a new window will pop up where you can navigate to where you extracted the files and choose the correct .inf file as shown
8. Here you will be able to name the printer, this will show up in the “Devices and Printers” window.
When clicking “Next” you can also choose if this printer is going to be the default printer, or not.
Tip: do NOT print a test page before actually checking the paper settings.
This could automatically be set to “Letter” and if you do not use that type of paper the job will get stuck in the queue preventing others to print.
Hope this helps.
Thanks!
