Hi
Please make sure to read this tip upfront before performing any changes..
if this happens both on the workstation and on the print server, my suggestion is that we focus on one of them at the moment.
Whichever you wich to install the driver locally... make sure you delete the print queue (or change the driver attached to it to another driver).
- Go to FILE > Server Properties > Drivers and remove the drive
- Go to FILE > Server Properties > Ports and delete the port
Make sure you do not have any other driver (even of different PDLs < PCL/PS> for the same model)
- Go to %systemroot%\System32\spool\drivers\w32x86 or x64 and find on the root directory or under a "3" folder the driver folder. (where it is sitting will depend on the driver version you are using). Delete all the files associated with that print driver.
- If you need a complete listing of the driver files you can check by:
- Go to FILE > Server Properties > Drivers > Properties... this should list you all the driver files.
After this is done, restart the spooler.
No changes to the registry should be required...
Now proceed with driver instalation:
- Download the print driver from Xerox website
- In the Printer and Faxes window select Add Printer
- Select Local printer attached to this computer
- Select to Create a New port and choose Standard TCP/IP Port
- Select Next and type the printer IP address
- Browse the driver we have downloaded and unzipped previously
- Then select the printer model
- Select if you wish to have the printer as default printer or not
- Do not share the printer. If you wish to do it you can later on after the driver is installed
- Select print test page if you wish (this test page can also be printed from the properties tab on the driver)
Please select Accept as Solution if you feel this post has helped you.
