XP embeded has no installed printer drivers. Need XP printer drive
I have Windows XP Pro "Embeded" OS on a 'Point of Sale' computer. I guess to
save space,which it has plenty of, "they" tookout all the native XP printer drivers. I have older dot matrix printers ( like okidata ML320 turbo, or to emulate an IBM Pro printer III; I also need a Generic Text printer driver) and even the manufactures cant find them because they say Windows has thoses drivers native in them as part of the Operating System; so they dont have them on their web site. How can I transfer XP OS printer drivers over to My new XP'Embeded OS computer??? |

XP embeded has no installed printer drivers. Need XP printer drive
I think you will need to remotely install the driver using another XP
machine. the driver files are contained in driver.cab and spN.cab under \windows\driver cache\i386 the inf for the inbox drivers is nprint.inf in \windows\inf. You will also need the ntprint.cat file so the drivers show up as signed. I've never used embedded but I assume it's similar to Server 2008 Core where there is no explorer UI. If this is the same in embedded and you need to install the drivers locally, look for prndrvr.vbs in system32 to install the drivers. -- Alan Morris Windows Printing Team Search the Microsoft Knowledge Base he http://support.microsoft.com/search/?adv=1 This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.
