Hi all I recently purchased a Toshiba e-studio 263cs printer, I have hooked it up to my windows 10 PC via USB cable device manager recognizes the device is there but windows cannot find the drivers for it, so after some searching I found the drivers:
PCL
PS
XPS
FAX
So I have downloaded all of these chucked them in a folder gone to device manager got it to find the drivers hit install, it wont find the printer or the scanner but it installs the FAX straight away, and of course the fax is the only thing I dont particularly want working, anyone have any idea where I can get a Toshiba driver software installer so it will do all this for me?

TIA

While I might not necessarily have an easy answer, I also have a Toshiba e-studio copier that I had trouble getting to work with a Windows 10 system. I eventually did get it to work, but it required a fair amount of effort, and required me to put Windows in "Test Mode". Apparently, Windows 10 really doesn't like running unsigned kernel-mode drivers, and makes it quite difficult to do. In my case, I think the newest drivers were for XP 64 though, while yours seems to support Windows 7, so it might be a bit less trouble in your case.

You might try going into Device Manager, finding the printer and opening up its properties, then selecting to update its driver, and manually select the location where you extracted the downloaded Windows...

Another thing to try would be to right-click the driver file in Windows Explorer, click Troubleshoot Compatibility, select that the program worked in prior versions of windows, select Windows 7, and try to run the program from there.

I had to do more than that, but hopefully you won't have to, since your drivers should support a newer version of Windows. I'd have to search again for exactly what I did though, since that was a while ago.

If you find that the drivers do install and work correctly, you should also reboot the system, and make sure they hold, and that Windows doesn't decide to helpfully disable them for you again.
