To use Unidrv, you need to install a Unidrv minidriver that is specific to your printer model. A Unidrv minidriver is a text file that describes the printer's capabilities and commands. A Unidrv minidriver has the extension .gpd (generic printer description).
Some printer models are already supported by Microsoft's printer INF file, ntprint.inf, which contains the information needed to install Unidrv minidrivers. If your printer model is not supported by ntprint.inf, you need to obtain a vendor-supplied INF file that references the appropriate Unidrv minidriver.
To install a Unidrv minidriver, follow these steps:
Download the Unidrv minidriver and the INF file for your printer model from the vendor's website or from a trusted source.
Copy the Unidrv minidriver and the INF file to a folder on your computer.
Connect your printer to your computer and turn it on.
Open the Devices and Printers folder from the Control Panel or the Start menu.
Click Add a printer and follow the instructions on the screen.
When prompted to choose a printer driver, click Have Disk and browse to the folder where you copied the Unidrv minidriver and the INF file.
Select the INF file and click Open.
Select your printer model from the list and click Next.
Complete the installation wizard and print a test page to verify that the driver works correctly.
If you encounter any problems with the Unidrv minidriver, you can contact the vendor for support or check their website for updates. You can also refer to the documentation provided by Microsoft for more information about Unidrv and its features.
