Requirements for printer drivers

When installing printer drivers, follow these requirements:

  • Use locally installed printer drivers to create spool files. You can use the LPT1: device as the printer port.
  • Avoid using spaces in the name of printers.
  • Printers should never be put on hold. This blocks the creation of the spool file until the printer is released.
  • Wherever available, use printer drivers provided by your printer manufacturer.
