Re: Xerox Global Printer Driver
I tested the Global Driver here and it works fine, but some print options don't appear on my WorkCentre copiers. For example staple was missing. Hence I don't use it. It's not global if those sort of options are missing. Roger Wright rhw...@gmail.com 7/6/2010 4:59 PM I thought it interest that it supposedly will print to almost any PCL/PS printer regardless of vendor or model. Die dulci fruere!

Xerox Global Printer Driver
This was mentioned at the Xerox luncheon last week. http://www.office.xerox.com/software-solutions/global-printer-driver/enus.html Anyone have experience with this printer driver? Die dulci fruere!

Almost any PCL/PS driver will print to almost any PCL/PS printer regardless of vendor or model. Indeed, that's a common trouble-shooting step: Try using the HP LaserJet 4 PCL driver that came with the OS and see if it works when the printer manufacturer's doesn't. That's the point of a page description language like PCL, after all -- to make page description independent of the specific model printer. These universal drivers basically just take that concept and run with it. Generally speaking, universal drivers do work, especially for simple printing. When you get into multi-function or advanced features (e.g., stapling), you may face limitations. All our HP printers are using a hacked HP LJ 4 driver from Win XP. It works better than anything HP's coughed up over the past few years. (We had to hack it to force 600 DPI for recent HP LJ's which crash if given a 300 DPI job.) -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/ ~
