Universal Drivers Not So Universal

Not so long ago, Xerox released a set of drivers designed to fit all printers - Mobile Express Driver. So did HP, except its set of drivers is called Universal Print Driver.

Now it is discovered that the two set of universal drivers are not so universal. In a working environment with a variety of different printers, Robert L. Mitchel at ComputerWorld.com. tested the two drivers sets. He found out that neither of them was a remedy for the faced printing problems. However, both tools are useful and one can make them play nicely together.

More on how these to drivers set are different learn from TCD blog.

How to Understand What Your Inkjet Printer Tells You

Just yesterday I wrote a post about what an printer's trying to say when it's flashing its indicators. For instance, when a printer's orange LED blinks 2 times, that generally means there's no paper detected in paper tray, or something is stuck in paper path and prevent paper from being supplied properly. As the whole issue only concerns inkjet printer, you won't find a word about toner, but you will learn what printer's blinking signals mean.

Knowing the signals is not enough, without knowing what to do about them. This kind of information I provided as well.
