Hi Steve,
You didn't state whether its Windows 2000 or 2003. But native drivers are
generally a first choice, followed by aliases and UPDI/II. If it's Windows
2000, then replacing the 2000 UPDII with the 2003 drivers makes for
significantly smaller print jobs. But if you're really serious then thinprint,
simplify printing, EOL universal printer etc are much better.
However you can improve 200 prinitng options a lot by using native 2003 drivers
since 2000 and XP/2003 all use the same printer mechanism. You can port any
2003 native driver to 2000 without too much hassle.
Traditionally the Phasers have had quite good drivers (I'm still in love with
the Phaser 850 [then tektronix]). However with Xerox it depends on where the
printer comes from. If it's from Japan, the drivers are third-party and
sometimes dodgy, if from the US the drivers are generally okay. Always provided
they really are version 3 (non-kernel mode) drivers of course.
You can get a reasonable idea of the stability of a printer driver by creating
a local port to NUL: and attaching the printer to that port. Let's you test
"print" hundreds of pages/documents without killing a single tree.
regards,

Subject: [THIN] Xerox Phaser 4400
Has anyone successfully used the native drivers successfully with XP FR3? Am
mapping HP drivers instead at moment but users want some advanced functionality
that may only work if it seems if you use the native drivers - the usual trade
off between functionality and stability.
Will version 3 Xerox Phaser 44OO drivers be stable?
