I work for a private company in Italy, and I have a big issue with printers in my office. We have more than 30, located on two different floors, and are different models/manufacturers.
Does anybody know of the existence of a software that can let me print with a universal driver?
There is an HP universal and a Xerox global driver. Otherwise you will have to have a file share on the network to hold the individual drivers.
Another solution involves setting up print queues for each printer. If you had a windows server, you could setup 30 print queues. The server would hold all 30 drivers, and each client could automatically download the drivers from the server. You would have to have a computer with enough memory,processor, and etc to handle the printing work load.
Windows includes scripts:
C:\Windows\System32\Printing_Admin_Scripts\en-US
prndrvr.vbs
and more Which allow you to install drivers remotely over the network. You will need a printer driver repository, visible to all PC, to host the drivers.
