Printing to Xerox Phaser 3116 iin Windows 10

This old simplex  laser printer has been with me since 2004, when I bought it new. The print engine is surprisingly good, and it has not jammed on me yet. With a resolution  of 600dpi, and at 14ppm and a real 250sheet paper tray it it still useful.

Technology and companies move, and though, and I had trouble printing on Windows 7, when Xerox stopped supporting this model, fortunately, I managed to discover that Samsung had a compatible model the ML-1710 which DID have Windows 7 drivers.

However, this came to a crashing halt as Samsung printer division then got bought over by HP, and stopped supporting the ML1710 generally. (I did manage to find an old driver on the Korean Website, but it was old (Universal Printer Driver v2.5) and did not work.

This then forced me to put the printer in storage, and then rely on my HP inkjet all-in-one for printing purposes. Tiring of the ink consumables hassles, I tried to resurrect it, and I am happy to note that a new version of the Universal Printer Driver 3 that *does* support the ML-1710 is now on the HP website here:  Samsung Universal Printer Driver for Windows

However, it *won't* see the printer properly, so you have to install the software, without connecting a printer. When you plug it in, it will try, but probably misconfigure it as a PCL printer, which will not work. It is a GDI printer, so if you choose ML1710 from the dropdown, it will then download and install additional drivers, which will recognize the printer and allow you to successfully print a test page.
