DC Tips
Upgrading the Windows NT

PostScript Driver

Purpose
Two outstanding issues with the NT PostScript print driver for the DC 220/230 family of
printers are:
• Upgrading the driver to a newer version
• Changing server driver defaults from a remote workstation
Versions affected
All versions released before November 1, 1998 are affected. This procedure will also work
with drivers that are expected to be released in the future. Please see the installation
instructions for those particular driver versions for optimum instructions.
Upgrading the driver to a newer version
Installing a newer version of the Xerox printer driver over an existing (older) version may not
successfully remove the old driver. Some symptoms of this problem are unusual default
values (i.e., pink stock instead of white) or some features of the driver not working (such as
Staple).
The following installation steps are for a PC that already has a DC 220/230 printer driver.
Note that you must upgrade the server drivers first in a client/server environment. See
Glossary for definitions.
Also, be aware that you must perform these steps for each computer (server and client) that
requires the upgraded driver.
1. Record the printer names and ports on the PC for use in later steps.
2. Select [Start], then choose [Settings: Printers].
