or toC:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\ACSXerox
and locate theMappedPrinterDrivers.xml
file. -
Open the file in Wordpad and search for the client printer driver name.
Example:
<property id="HP LaserJet 2100 Series PS" type="STRING">
<value>HP LaserJet 2100 Series PS</value>
</property>
<property id="HP LaserJet 2100 Series PS" type="STRING">
is the driver used on the client, and<value>HP LaserJet 2100 Series PS</value>
is the driver that should be mapped to on the host. -
Replace the driver name with
Universal Remote Printer
.Example: In the example above, you would delete
HP LaserJet 2100 Series PS
and replace it withUniversal Remote Printer
.<property id="HP LaserJet 2100 Series PS" type="STRING">
<value>Universal Remote Printer</value>
</property>
