There may be a very specific reason why they prefer an installer versus manual method, although the installer method is generally the preferred choice for most USB connected all-in-ones since it installs the drivers for all components in one go and enables button functionality on the unit.
#Toshiba printer drivers windows 8 install
If you are against using an installer then the downloaded program creates a folder on your hard drive during the first stages of the installation that you can simply use to install it manually, the print drivers are located in a Print folder, and the rest are located in other folders once those files are extracted simply cancel the installation.
I really can't see why this would mess up Windows. There's no issue with using an installer to install the print and scan drivers as well as Toshiba button software, and yes it's obviously safe and very common practice.
#Toshiba printer drivers windows 8 64 Bit
GDI drivers have existed for Windows 7 64 bit since at least 2009. Here's the MS site: & Scanners&sc=Multifunction&os=64-bit And then they add that it is ".a work in progress." The mind boggles.Ī simple search on Microsoft's Compatibility site indicates the unit is supported under Windows 7 64 and provides a direct link to the Toshiba site for the drivers. Why not create a driver-file and let W7 do the installation. Now it seems that Toshiba cannot simply create a 64-bit driver-file for the 203SD but have to create a complete installation program. Toshiba Technical Dept admits that the arrival of 64-bit computing ".created problems for us in that all drivers had to be changed." Well yes, one would think so wouldn't you. XP recognised the printer and installed it virutally automatically. Also there is nothing "attached" to the printer there is simply a USB port. On the e-Studio 203SD the USB port is on the Left Side of the printer and not on the rear. Postscript printing is available if the Postscript option has been installed on the GA-1330.". The GA-1330 is attached to the back of the MFP and connects to the USB port. It can do PCL printing if the optional GA-1330 controller is installed.
".The e-STUDIO203SD can do GDI printing out of the box. I had a look on the Toshiba site and the info provided does not match the product.hmmm To quote from the site
