Xerox Print and Scan Experience Keeps Installing

[ukzcoza]

We have the same issue.

After Windows Update updates the Xerox Driver we now have lots of computers that keep adding the printer over and over again and the Winows Popup keeps alearting of the new printer over and over again.

Please could you offer a solution as it is impacting a lot of our Students

Thanks

Just reaching out to say that it's 01/03/2023 and this issue is still a constant problem resulting in hundreds of duplicate copiers on various PC's 

Per the suggestion above We will begin moving away from Xerox copiers to resolve this issue.

We have now replaced two older Xeroxes with Canons. If everything works ok we will replace more Xeroxes with Canons.

I called support and was referred to the company we lease the machines through.  Called the company we lease the machines through and was referred to Xerox support.

I tried to chat with Xerox support but they just closed the chat.

We have exactly the same problem. The script was taken from here https://www.reddit.com/r/sysadmin/comments/muo2q5/xerox_woes_deleting_several_xerox_desktop_print/?s...

Some computers have more than 40 instances of Xerox printers. We have switched to V3 drivers but Print and Scan Exprerience keeps creating duplicate printers.

Hello bpas76,

I see no one has responded to this post yet. So, at this point I would recommend contacting your local Xerox Support Department to speak with a Product Specialist for more assistance. Please call 1-800-821-2797 or 1-800-835-6100.

Hello,

Our organization has a fleet of Xerox printers (B615, C7030, 8045, and v180) all deployed via Group Policy.  We have users who complain that the Xerox Print and Scan Experience app continues to install despite us removing it.  They will hear the windows sound as if a new device has been plugged in and unplugged over and over. 

When we look at their device manager, under hidden Software Components, they will have hundreds (in some cases thousands) of instances of Xerox Desktop Print Experience listed.

We have tried manually removing each device, driver, and the installed application but it continues to reoccur.

We have tried running a suggested script found below on another forum that supposedly resolves this issue but it continues to happen.

Get-Printer | Where {$_.DriverName -like "*xerox*"} | Remove-Printer

Get-service | Where {$_.Name -eq "Spooler"} | Stop-Service

Start-Sleep -Seconds 2

Get-Item -Path "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Print\Providers\Client Side Rendering Print Provider" | Remove-Item -Recurse -Confirm:$false
Get-Item -Path "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Print\V4 Connections\*" | Remove-Item -Recurse -Confirm:$false

get-pnpdevice | Where {$_.FriendlyName -like "*xerox desktop print experience*"} | foreach {pnputil /remove-device $_.DeviceID}

$Indexs = @()
$i = 0
$PNPTxt = pnputil -e
$PNPTxt| Foreach {If ($_ -like "*xerox*"){$Indexs += ($i - 1)};$i++}

$OEMS = Foreach ($index in $indexs){
$PNPTxt[$index].Substring($PNPTxt[$index].IndexOf("o"),$PNPTxt[$index].IndexOf("f") + 1 - $PNPTxt[$index].IndexOf("o"))
}

Foreach ($OEM in $OEMS){
pnputil -f -d $OEM;
$OEM
}

Get-AppxPackage | Where {$_.Name -like "*Xerox*" } | Remove-AppxPackage
(Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_Product | Where {$_.vendor -like "*xerox*"}).uninstall()

Get-service | Where {$_.Name -eq "Spooler"} | Start-Service

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
