Download drivers for Canon imageRUNNER 1023. Drivers are compatible with Mac OS X / Windows 2000 / Windows 7 / Windows 7 64 bit / Windows 8 / Windows 8 64 bit.

Windows Server 2003 SP2 (not R2) X86 with new Win 7 X64 clients - Canon ir1023 and ir2030 LAN attached copiers I'm pretty sure I need to update the existing drivers on the server before I can add X64 drivers for Win 7. I have too many choices!!!! (Plus I don't know what I'm doing!) ir1023 choices: ir2030 choices: Print Manger run from an existing X86 Vista box reports these drivers on the server: Canon iR1018/1022/1023 UFRII LT Windows NT x86 1.60.0.0 Canon Canon iR2022/2025/2030 PCL6 Windows NT x86 6.5.0.0 Canon I'm not sure what UFRII LT is, but it is working. Alien Skin Exposure 7 Serial Mac.

So I think I need to update the driver on the server first - looks like 2.7 is the current UFRII version. Should I use a setup.exe or the INF file? If I use the INF file how do I accomplish the update? Asking another way: what is the best way to update the drivers on a server that is up and running with 25 dekstops pointing to an existing shared printer? Reading other threads it then looks like I need use Print Manager to add additional drivers and point to the downloaded INF version of the X64 driver. (My 2003 server does not have the Print Manager add-in.) The ir2030 is really confusing.

I guess the drivers with PCL6 are the ones to concentrate on. They have files for the INF, Setup, and 'Generic' whatever that is. Note that neither device is directly attached - they are connected via LAN-TCP/IP. As an aside should we have used the PCL5e drivers instead?

What does WHQL certified mean? Sorry for all the questions - I'm a bit nervious that I'll take down our exiting print capability when trying to add support for X64 Win 7. AMD64 is x64. State Of Decay Patch 14.1.21. I did not what to say 64bit since Server 2003 does support 64bit for Itainium IA64.

Open Printers folder File / Server Properties / Drivers Add Have Disk point to the location where you expanded the files there will be an inf file there or in a subdirectory of this location Select the driver you wish to install (I assume it will be the same name as the current one) Next Finish (I'm way past 2003 so the there may be another Next) Now the 32 bit driver is updated all the 32 bit clients will start downloading this file set. Install the 64bit driver. You will need access to unidrv or pscript core files from Windows 7 unless you are using the Windows 7 machine to push them up to the print server. Alan Morris Windows Printing Team; Search the Microsoft Knowledge Base here: http://support.microsoft.com/search/Default.aspx?adv=1. The 64 bit driver names must match the 32 bit drivers installed on the server. It's best to have the same version 32bit and 64bit drivers.

Use INF install If you have not tested the configuration setup an XP machine to act as a print server. Install the 32bit driver, then from a 64bit Windows machine with the drivers downloaded and expanded, launch Printmanagement.msc, add the XP machine, find the printer, Manage Sharing, IGNORE the prompt to install the driver locally, Additional drivers, point to the inf. Make any settings changes for the print queue. Take a different Windows 7 client and connect. Print from you primary applications (you know Word, PowerPoint, other applications all people who work at Microsoft assume you have). Connect from XP or other clients on your network and confirm the driver works okay.

You could also set this up using the existing driver and update to the new one with the existing connections. I like to use PS drivers for the high end Canon devices mainly for better color matching. There is no C in the name, if the device is monochrome you make the call. Microsoft's certification for Vista: This certification is called 'WHQL' Windows Hardware Quality Labs'. The dominant position of Windows in the computing world ensured that there are enormous number of applications written and hardware manufactured. This WHQL signifies that the hardware or software works with the Vista operating system. I have found plenty of WHQL drivers that have bugs.
