Tool
7047
This is a small tool that I wrote out of need. I do believe that this tool may be of use to others, but it's still in beta phase, and I need feedback from users, Please :-)
Problem:
I have a printer that did not come with an INF-based printer driver,but instead with a setup.exe-based driver / or integrated with Windows. I don't run iPrint, but only Point-And-Print, or NDPS. How do I distribute this driver?
Answer:
Install this program on your PC, and run PDrvGen.exe, select the printer, and select "Generate".An INF-based driver will now be generated!
What's new in version 1.3.0.0:
- Gray Cash from the USA had a small, but nice request, that I preserved the version info in the driver, if it was present in the origen driver.
That way, troubleshooting would be a lot easier to do.
PDrvGen will now extract and save the Driver Version info"
What's new in version 1.2.0.0:
- Theo Pluym found an HP Driver that wasn't written that well, since it didn't liked a space between the parameters. Since I figured, that other drivers might suffer from the same problem, I corrected PDrvGen to generate inf-files without this.

How do I install this utility? When I unzip the program, I just see a file called pdrvgen.rar. Am I missing something?

You'll need WinRar.
This Util was originally compressed using the RAR compression, and when transferred to the new cool site, the RAR file was also zipped ;-)
Go Google for WinRar

helpful tool

although imanager should be able to upload printer drivers from files or local installed printers, in several cases PDRVgen was the only working solution to put printer drivers into iprint.
Thanks!
