Printer Drivers
The Printer Driver Download page provides two ways to download a printer driver: from the
internet or from a USB flash drive. This page also provides a method to export printer drivers
onto a USB flash drive for downloading onto other xPrintServers as well as a way to preload
drivers onto the xPrintServer unit.
