Just the other day, I ran into a printer driver issue. The CD-ROM the HP LaserJet 4200 that came with the printer didn’t seem to want to print graphics or reports properly. HP’s web site didn’t feel like offering up the latest driver as 404s kept coming up. So in the end, I used the old retired PC, with the proper drivers on it, as a printer server. Maybe I should have gone to Xerox’s site for the driver instead. Yes, I said Xerox.
Xerox has just informed SvenOnTech of a printer driver that not only works on every Xerox printer, but nearly every printer (PostScript enabled printers). The Xerox Mobile Express Driver automatically detects your location (laptop or desktop) based on your network and updates its list of preferred printers. Every time you print, you have a list of online and available printers. You do nothing but click that Print icon! The Xerox Mobile Express Driver allows you to sort printers based on status, location, name, and so forth. You can find out in-depth detail about each printer to find the one that best meets your needs. Everything is automatic as it configures the printer for you.
The best thing about this driver is if you’re a road warrior and find yourself in many offices with various printers, you’ll now be able to print to them without having to call IT or go to a manufacturers web site that may be down for a model specific driver. The Xerox Mobile Express Driver takes care of this all for you. Nice.
This is a Windows only driver (Mac OS X has a built-in generic PostScript driver already) and can be downloaded and installed for free.
