Re: Phaser/etc. (8400DP) "USB Port Driver" for Windows 95/98

Hi vlsjekn

Disregard the PPD and delete the XrxPPD folder.

The 8400 English PS Driver is not available and the article is being reviewed to correct it.

Try to go to this link and download and extract this file to a location you can remember.

DOES the add hardware window open when you plug in the cable with the printer attached?

DOES it detect the printer?

If it does then you should be able to use the wizzard and navigate and find the inf file from this extract.

If it doesn't then we need to start over and perform the following again.

The following instructions should resolve problems experienced when installing a Phaser 8400 printer on a USB port in Windows 98/Millenium (ME).

1. Verify no other printers are installed to a USB Port. Being installed to a USB port is different than being physically connected to a USB port.

   To find printers installed to USB ports:

   • Click Start/Settings/Printers.
   • Right-click each printer (one at a time), then click on the Details tab.
   • If the port for any printer is set to USB00# (where # is a number between 1 and 9), change it temporarily to something else (for example, FILE, or COM1), then click OK.

   Note: Windows 98/ME prevents software (like the Automatic Installer) from sending query messages to a USB port if there is already a printer installed to that port. Therefore, it is very important step 1 be performed.

2. Start the install. Once no other printers are using USB ports, use the windows installer and navigate to the inf file

Please let us know how you make out!
