where to locate usable driver for pro-100

Just bought a Pro-100 and when I installed it with the CD I also included the XPS driver. How do I know that this is the driver that is being used and not the IC driver.

 

thanks

Hi dunkinidaho.

 

While Patrick's explanation is probably tetchnically correct I ddidn't find it very helpful.

 

The XPS version of the printer shows up as a separate printer from the Pro-100 printer. You need to specifically choose that printer in any application you will be printing from.

Hi dunkinidaho,

 

The XPS printer driver supports 16 bit printing which is only supported by 64 bit applications, such as Adobe Photoshop.  The XPS printer driver does not have the ICM color management feature that the standard printer driver has.  If color management is not available in the driver you are using, then you are using the XPS driver.
