Forcing a printer to use the universal printer driver

Mapping printer drivers can also be used to force printers to use the universal printer driver.

  1. Navigate to C:\ProgramData\ACSXerox or to C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\ACSXerox and locate the MappedPrinterDrivers.xml file.
  2. 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.

  3. Replace the driver name with Universal Remote Printer.

    Example: In the example above, you would delete HP LaserJet 2100 Series PS and replace it with Universal Remote Printer.

    <property id="HP LaserJet 2100 Series PS" type="STRING">
    <value>Universal Remote Printer</value>
    </property>

  4. Save the file.

    The next time users connect to the host, their printer is configured using the universal printer driver.
