Printers and drivers
Print Deploy works with the vast majority of printers. This includes, but is not limited to, print languages such as PostScript, PCL5, PCL5e, PCL6, XPS, Epson ESC/P2, Canon UFR, UFRII and more.
Windows
The following driver requirements must be met before Print Deploy will clone the print queue:
- The driver must have an INF file (Setup Information file).
- The driver must be digitally signed and package aware.
- The driver is not a virtual driver like a PDF printer. In other words, the print queue has to point to a physical device or in the case of a Direct Print Find-Me setup, to a local nul-port.
TIP: To see which driver languages work best with PaperCut NG/MF in regards to controlling, tracking, and giving users the ability to change print job settings at the time of release, check the Supported Printers knowledge base article.
