MS supplies 64 bit printer driver does not select paper tray
in [64 Bits Windows]
|
From: John L on 13 May 2010 12:00 Win7 Home Premium 64 bit LexMark T420 printer (Lan connected) Win7 saw the printer and loaded a MS driver for it. I can print to the T420 but the print out always goes to tray 1 (legal). In the print preferences panel, I select tray 2 but the physical print always comes from tray 1. I cannot tell if the MS driver is PS or PCL. This is my first foray into the world of 64 bit printer drivers. Any suggestions appreciated. -- ***************** John Lenz JohnLenz(a)comcast.net
From: Bobby Johnson on 13 May 2010 12:25 The drivers provided by Microsoft are supplied by the manufacturer and are almost always not full featured drivers. To gain full functionality you will need to check with Lexmark for a Windows 7 driver. Some Vista drivers function adequately when installed in Win 7, but not all do.

From: Charlie Russel - MVP on 13 May 2010 12:51 I agree, Bobby. MS doesn't write printer drivers, OEMs do. And there are often later (and better) drivers available from the OEM. There are also settings on some printers that will override the driver, though, so it's important to set the printer back to factory defaults. -- Charlie. http://msmvps.com/blogs/russel "Bobby Johnson" <rjohnson(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:OIHmwjr8KHA.5412(a)TK2MSFTNGP06.phx.gbl... > The drivers provided by Microsoft are supplied by the manufacturer and are > almost always not full featured drivers.
