Re: Installing Printers

Hello GiusVa
I have been checking for you an install to record every step:
I have at hand a Canon i455 but the procedure should be similar for other
brands.
First you need to include XPE components. "Windows update for device
drivers" and, if your printer has USB interface "USB printing support"
With your printer driver files at hand, start XPE and plug in the printer
USB cable, you should see the message "new hardware found" and your
printer's name.
After some time an error message appears , it's XP that needs help to find
the driver.
Close the window to stop this phase. Disregard the error warning.
Start the "add a printer" wizard from "printer and fax".
Disable P&P
Select "local printer"
Use the port "USB001 virtual printer port for USB"
Push Next and you see yor printer name, click on "have disk" and browse to
your driver files, if correct an .INF file is selected.
Push Ok and next as usual, until the end of wizard. If everithing is ok you
'll have the test page printed.
Printer install from manufacturers require a huge space on disk, this way
only the files required by the driver are copied.
I hope this time things work
Raffaele

GiusVa,
it seems OK, before you need the USB driver, after the Printer installs. I
did it about 2 years ago and got my notes to reply, so some steps lack...
Now, how about your printer?

Ok, I tested the new image :
- I plug the usb connector, there is no reaction from the system.
To do the installation I must :
- run explorer.
- Access Control Panel->System->Hardware->Device Manager.
- Then I must :
- first install the DOT 4 USB driver from HP CD.
- then install the printer.
Do you confirm this is the procedure you where suggesting ?
Ciao
