Hello TH,

I want to update the drivers on my printer. But I am not sure how to do this. Im no sure which driver to pick and what steps to take?

Help will be appreciated!

Printer (Xerox VersaLink 405)
OS: (Win 7)

 
Solution
the firmware would update the printer itself

a driver will update windows to work with the printer, so just the PC/Laptop would be updated

upgrade = replacing hardware with better hardware

Will this driver upgrade the printer or the laptop? With this I mean is the driver updating the printer or the system you are installing it on? Sry for the 'amateur' questions...
 


its ok you can ask as many questions as you want i got nothin else to do. and you would install them on your computer.

Which one is all included? Should I download more drivers seperately?

Thanks in advance
 
Actually, if your printer and existing driver are working fine, you should leave it alone.

Only update a driver (any driver) if you are experiencing a problem and you think a driver update may fix it.

The forum boards are littered with posts from members who updated a driver unnecessarily and then found they had a problem that didn't exist with the old driver!
