I will give Xerox kudos for simplifying the process by having the print driver, when loaded, ping the netword and detect the printer to install. The simplest way to install a new printer that I have come across.P.S.

It has ISO images, setup files and zipped/rarred files of all the programs on my computer, saved into individual folders depending on the program. That way, if I need them later on down the track, they're sitting patiently, ready to deploy.

Not like the EXTREMELY invasive "Satan-Spawned" totally unacceptable-working only when the stars align-crap from HP. I can't wait for my "new" HP printer to die so I can go back to a Canon unit. Have done the Lexmark thing too, but hoops and all, will go back to Canon at the earliest opportunity. At least once you get it, it works, and works properly.
