Hello Experts,<br />
&nbsp;<br />
I have a Server 2012 setup with Print Managment, I have about 200 Printers all using the Ricoh Universal PCL6 driver. &nbsp;I need to update the driver to the newest Version, which means all 200 Printers will be updated at once.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
What is the best and correct procedure to update them all? So far i've been disabling the NIC and updating one of the Printers which causes all the other ones to update. &nbsp;Then after that i turn the NIC back on. &nbsp;Turning off NIC so people can't lock a file and the driver dosn't talk to each and every printer to make the update faster.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
Is there a wizard or something to make it better and easier without loosing any custom settings?<br />
<br />
Thank you!

Best way to Update Windows Server 2012 Print Server

A printer is a peripheral which makes a persistent human readable representation of graphics or text on paper or similar physical media. Traditional printers are being used more for special purposes, like printing photographs or artwork, and are no longer a must-have peripheral; 3D printing has become an area of intense interest, allowing the creation of physical objects. An image scanner is a device that optically scans images, printed text, handwriting, or an object, and converts it to a digital image. Hand-held scanners, where the device is moved by hand, have evolved from text scanning "wands" to 3D scanners used for industrial design, reverse engineering, test and measurement, orthotics, gaming and other applications.

Printers and Scanners

Windows Server 2012 is the server version of Windows 8 and the successor to Windows Server 2008 R2.
