Retarded print driver question
Quick dumb question.... when adding a printer and you use one of the windows drivers already listed how do you know whether the driver is PCL or PS if it all it says is Ex. "HP Laserjet 1022"
I've got to add around 70 printers to a server and we only use PCL drivers, will the one's already listed in Windows work or do I really need to search and install drivers for each model printer =(

If you are adding a HP driver then it is PCL. A Postscript driver is generic across many brands of printers. Generally HP printers have drivers included with Windows as a MS prime partner.Who knows what evil lurks in the heart of technology?... The Shadow DO -

He called it a "retard question" which it isn't. Kind of makes me feel bad though that I had to look up the difference between PCL and PS drivers.

Printers suck. That's why they have their own profession. (Just throwing that out there.)
