Universal Adb Windows Driver
Karina Edling
The Lexmark Universal Print Driver provide users and administrators with a standardized, one-driver solution for their printing needs. Instead of installing and managing individual drivers for each printer model, administrators can install the Lexmark Universal Print Driver for use with a variety of both mono and color laser printers and multi-function devices.
The Job Accounting option allows an organization to track print jobs for accounting purposes by associating the print job with specific account information, including a user name or ID, an account code, and a department code. This enables the tracking of the number of print jobs from different users or departments, and the billing of those print jobs to a specific account. By associating print jobs with specific account information, quotas can be enforced on the print jobs that users can submit.
With only one package to manage, testing and internal certification of print drivers is simplified by the use of the Lexmark Universal Print Driver packages. Time spent on installation, both on servers and workstations, is greatly reduced, and hard drive space formerly occupied by many product-specific drivers is now diminished significantly.
The Lexmark Universal Print Driver packages use the same graphic user interface as the product-specific drivers the users are accustomed to, and now all queues will share that same interface, decreasing calls to the help desk. Users can create and save profiles for their most frequently used settings, or use profiles that were created for them by IT.
The latest version of the Lexmark Universal Print Driver features enhancements designed to improve usability for the end-user, and many changes to administrator tools to reduce the time and effort required to deploy and maintain your devices. Listed below are highlights of the latest release, which still includes the great eco-friendly features found in the previous version.
The new user interface of the Universal Print Driver provides a more consistent look and feel across all printer models, with controls and settings that have been modified to provide better language support and overall customer experience.
The Universal Printer Driver is now available in more languages, and matches the language of your operating system. Administrators can also manually choose a specific language from the Configuration tab in the Printer Properties dialog if desired.
With the new Universal Print Driver installer, administrators can choose to create preconfigured installation packages that include only the software and drivers that meet their organization's needs. This is accomplished by combining the custom installation package with Driver Configuration Files (DCFs), which lets administrators create a deployment package that best suits their environment. DCFs are described in more detail below.
The latest version of the Universal Print Driver has the ability to update its user interface to reflect the features and options of any supported printer model. When the driver is connected to a printer through USB or over a network, the driver automatically updates its configuration, showing only the features and functions of a chosen printer model. For example, only the paper sizes, trays, paper types, finishing options, and other options that the printer supports are shown to the user.
Administrators can use the Printer Driver Configuration Utility to create driver configurations. A driver configuration is a group of saved printer driver settings and other options that is stored in a Driver Configuration File (DCF). You can also create subset driver configurations that work across different printer models. You can use the utility to:
Each package includes a Microsoft WHQL certified 32 and 64-bit PCL 5 emulation, PCL XL emulation, PS3 emulation and HBP universal printer driver. These driver packages will upgrade your existing installation of the universal printer driver.
The Mac UPD driver comes in 2 variants. The Color driver package is meant to work on color printers, whereas the Mono driver package will work on the mono printers. Each of the driver package comes in a DMG file format. These drivers will work for both ARM and Intel Architecture.

I just installed KDS on a new windows 10 machine and am having problems with the PE micro Multilink universal debugger. The drivers are installed. In device manager I see Jungo with USB multilink 2.0 and windriver. On my win 7 machine if I plug in the debugger the lights come on on the PE Micro even without KDS running. On win 10 they do not. Obviously I get an error when I try to debug on win 10. Are there different drivers for win 10? I came across a link for a patch to fix PE Micro driver problems but when I click on it, the link says the download does not exist. _file.cfm?download_id=460
OK, I have it working. In KDS I had to go into Install new software, and select PE Micro updates and check PE Micro software and click next to install new stuff. I then had to go into the debugger settings and re-select the target micro.
I am trying to get an old printer working for a family member. The printer itself is working fine but I can't find a way to print from Windows 10 to that printer, the drivers for that printer no longer support the most modern versions of Windows.
Luckily, I was able to print to that printer using Ubuntu and I shared the printer using the GUI. The Windows machine was able to see it but still asked me for a driver before being able to print to it.
Just a little note: I will eventually use a Raspberry Pi for this (I have none that I can use right now), so if there something I might need to know that will be different on a Pi (else then the GUI), please let me know!
Open up the web interface to the server, select the Administration tab, look under the Server heading, and enable the "Share printers connected to this system" option. Save your change by clicking on the Change Settings button. The server will automatically restart.
The preferred way to connect a Windows client to a Linux print server is using IPP, as the configuration is simpler than using Samba. It is a standard printer protocol based on HTTP, allowing you to use port forwarding, tunneling etc. IPP has been natively supported by Windows since Windows 2000.
On the Windows computer, go to Control Panel->Devices and Printers and choose 'Add a printer'. If on Windows 10, click "The printer that I want isn't listed". Next, choose 'Select a shared printer by name' and type in the location of the printer:
After this, install the native printer drivers for your printer on the Windows computer. If the CUPS server's print queue is set up to use its own printer drivers instead of as a raw queue, you can just select a generic postscript printer driver for the Windows client (e.g. 'HP Color LaserJet 8500 PS' or 'Xerox DocuTech 135 PS2').
Your printer, the Epson Stylus Photo 960 supports ESC/P so it should support text printing. It does not support PCL5. One Windows 10 driver that will work with it is the Generic/Text Only driver. Note that this driver is true to label: it prints text only.
If you need to print graphics, or you just need more control over the printer, you can try using a driver for another ESC/P printer. If you search for "windows 10 esc/p driver" you will find a number of them. Most appear to be for printers in the Epson LX and FX ranges. These are dot-matrix printers, which do not support colour. Pick one for a printer that has similar capabilities as yours, e.g. the LQ-1070.
Daniel B's answer is great. Unfortunately it took me a while to figure out some things to make it work. Here's what I wish I knew the first time I read his answer when I was trying to print on an old old Samsung ML-1740 printer via CUPS. These weren't obvious to me.
In the testing phase of setting up universal print at my organization I noticed a lot of the printing preferences features are missing. When using Universal Print Class Driver I am limited to Layout settings and Paper/Quality. Some of my users need access to more than these preferences. The main thing missing that is needed is the Secure Print feature. If I change the driver to the Konica driver, the feature show up but, the Universal Print Driver errors out. Has anyone run into this on the Konica printers? I will list the printer models we have below as well as attach pictures of what I am talking about.
in my organization we use Universal Drivers from Konica for a long time and we have access to the options you need. We still use a version which is slightly outdated (3.2 or 3.3) but still functioning perfectly.
@Serge Malchair Hey, I'm talking about Microsoft Universal Driver. When adding the printers to the connector I used the basic Konica drivers. Are you saying I need to use Konica Universal Print drivers for Microsoft Universal print or are we talking about two different things?
@AdamK_DC / @JoshEberly - For best experience, printers need to work directly with Universal Print using the IPP standard protocol. Konica Minolta has announces firmware updates and printers that do so - -us/universal-print/fundamentals/universal-print-partner-integrations#k....
If you are using a connector, then what options show-up really depends on the quality of print driver being used on connector. Universal Print uses the Windows Print schema to identify attributes - however, some drivers use their own schema which can be very hard to interpret. For more details on how this is done, refer to the documentation. You may want to your printer OEM on whether they recommend a particular driver to be used on connector.
