You can add columns of info to the display so you don’t have to fool with the registry like I did! Oh well I was just trying to learn the real nuts and bolts. cab file with each printer driver packaged inside.Įdit: use the Print Management tool in Windows Administrative Tools instead. There is a sub-folder for each architecture, with a PCC sub-folder in each one. cab files in \\server\printer$ or C:\Windows\System32\spool\drivers. If you know the GUID of the printer driver (seen inside the InfPath key) you can also find the printer drivers nicely packaged up inside. The idea here is to get the driver from the source so you know you have an exact match. This is helpful if you don’t know what driver is necessary for each printer, like when you inherited an environment. This shows the location of the 64-bit printer driver inside C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository. Pay attention to the InfPath key inside each printer listed. These registry locations list what printer models are assigned to which printer driver. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Environments\Windows 圆4\Drivers\Version-4 Here are the locations for print driver info in the Windows registry: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Environments\Windows 圆4\Drivers\Version-3
