Do You Need A Different Driver For Different Computers To Print? Read This.

[Guest jonathan perreault]

nice Info From The Printers Newsgroup For Vista

 

i had a problem while back with my printer. My dad wanted to use a different

driver called HP DeskJet 970C series, because of that, i wasn't able to

print on xp or vista. For some reason, only way to print was to use the HP

DeskJet 970Cxi driver so what i did was created two printers on the host

computer. One is for him, he's using the C Series Driver, The other one is

the one that he shares on his pc, which is the cxi Driver.

 

Here are the steps to have two different driver for one printer: I went to

his printer changed the driver to what i wanted it to be, then used the

wizard to SEARCH the driver that my dad wanted to use, DO NOT let windows

search it for you, it will ruin what you are trying to do, so i manually

selected the driver, then the port usb that the printer was connected to,

finished the wizard, and voila two printers going to one printer, one is

shared, one not isn't. It Should Work On All OS But It Worked With Vista And

XP, if you have that problem, if it doesn't work then get rid of the one

wanting to use the driver that doesn't work.
