Howto: Use Xerox Mobile Express Universal Print Driver
Xerox’s universal print driver, Mobile Express is a universal printer driver that can span across all leading brands in the industry, as per the claims. But, there have been reports that Mobile Express works only on a select list of printers and is mostly not compatible with non-postscript printers. Yet, many users have found the driver useful and relevant to their needs.
We will walk through the process of setting up and using Xerox Mobile Express.
The setup file is around 9MB and installation hardly takes a few seconds.
Mobile Express when launched for the first time, asks for a location name, and can optionally import all printers in your Printers and Faxes section in the Control Panel. Alternatively, users can automatically discover connected printers through the application.
Xerox Mobile Express becomes your default printer driver. Anytime you enter a new location/subnet, the driver prompts the user to enter a location name before moving on to discover available printers.
Mobile Express remembers all the printers added along with the relevant subnet information. So, it saves you work trying to discover same printers every time you log into a specific subnet.
Limitations include the ability to harness the complete features available on a printer like choosing the paper trays and various alert notifications.
The Xerox Mobile Express may not be universal in real sense, yet, it’s a great ally to have for people roaming around and trying to find printers at various locations.
