Win7 Lite version of the installation of the dot matrix printer driver tutorial

At present, everyone's computer is generally upgraded to the Win7 system, including a lot of win7ers, including myself, or a simplified version of Win7 (that is, Ghost version) When installing the driver of some printers, it will prompt "Cannot find the core driver package required by the printer driver package", and the installation will fail.

I have this problem when I install the EPSON LQ-300K+ printer driver on Ghost Win7. Naturally, I went to the official website of EPSON to plan the next driver. As a result, I found the following tips on the official website. The original system is my own printer driver, but the Ghost version has been streamlined. However, just install a driver, is it necessary to upgrade? Do you have to reload? Or can you only share? After some exploration, I finally found a relatively simple and feasible solution, which is to summarize the experience for reference. If you have a similar situation, you may wish to try it if you don't want to reinstall it.

1, Ghost version of Win7 installed when installing the printer driver ” can not find the core driver package required by the printer driver package, generally because the native system's own drive is removed. The system comes with drivers, mostly included in this system directory (assuming the system is on the C drive): C:\\WINDOWS\\System32\\DriverStore\\FileRepository

Although, sometimes this directory will be larger than the native system directory. However, in fact, when it was Ghost Edition, it was indeed "casten" and there were some files missing, including the necessary files (core driver package) for installing the printer driver. In this way, the first step is to recover these missing files.

2, open C:\\WINDOWS\\System32\\DriverStore, which is the upper directory of the directory in step 1, right click on the FileRepository directory, select ” administrator obtains ownership <;
< Br>

3, a command line window will appear, and the operation will be performed quickly, which requires up to 5 minutes of waiting.

4. After the command line window disappears, you can start copying the downloaded file. In order to improve efficiency, you can use the direct decompression method, open the good rar file with WinRAR and other software, click the FileRepository directory (do not click in), extract it to C:\\WINDOWS\\System32\\DriverStore (that is, in step 2) The directory), OK, and in the overlay prompt point "all selected is ", then the drive file is copied to the system directory. (Of course, if you are afraid of mistakes, you can unzip it to another place and then copy it.)

5. After you finish, you can use Win7's own printer function to install the driver. Click Start Menu - Device and Printer. In the pop-up window, select ” Add Printer “-” Add Local Printer", and you will be taken to the box below. My printer uses a USB cable to connect to the computer, so choose this one. Look at the officer, please choose 根据 according to the actual interface of the printer.

6, the next step is to select the printer model, this on-demand operation. If the system comes with a driver printer, you can find the corresponding model.

7, point & rdquo; next & ldquo;, the system begins to install the driver. If there is no accident, then there will be no mistakes in finding the core driver. In addition, if the system gives several drivers and asks which one to install, it is best to choose the path of FileRepository.

8. When the window of "Share Printer" pops up, the printer driver has finally been installed successfully, and the driver problem has been solved satisfactorily! (Don't forget to set the default printer喔)

Inadequacies

1, although this method is simple and feasible, it eliminates the trouble of reinstalling/upgrading the system, but it also has the drawbacks. At the place. One is that it may make the system take up more disk space, although the original FileRepository directory is larger than the unzipped native directory (1.2G, native 700 M); the other is that it will have the native system's own driver files. All recovery, this is still a little "big problem" for just want to install a printer driver. However, at least there is no need to sacrifice the nirvana & mdash; — reload Dafa, is it not wonderful? !

2. If there is a need for Windows to install the printer driver specifically, the core driver package should be pointed out. I believe that the workload of copying must be greatly reduced. This method must be more practical! Throwing bricks to attract jade, looking forward to the high man!

Note:

1. This method applies to the installation of the driver from the native Win7 printer.

2. This method has only been successfully tested under Win7 Home Edition 32-bit system, and 64-bit system is not recommended.

3. If you can't install the printer driver yet, please check if the Print Spooler service is started and set to start automatically in the “Services” console. The specific operation can be Baidu.

4. Before copying the driver file in step 4, be sure to execute the “Administrator's Ownership” command, otherwise it may not be successful.
