3 of 6
known issue with the Microsoft Windows Installer.

USB connected print devices are unable to enter standby and log 0 page jobs.
Solution: Disable bidirectional support in the Ports tab of the Printer Properties window.
Adobe® Reader® 8.0 or later is required to read the PDF documentation.
Windows 2000 / 2003
On a Windows 2000 client using a 64-bit Windows 2003 Server, a shared PCL mini-driver will
display an error with the display of Printer Properties or Printing Preferences. The message will read
"Printer Properties cannot be displayed" or "Printer Preferences cannot be displayed." Microsoft has
acknowledged that this is a known issue with the 64-bit version of Windows Server 2003.
Solution: Use a 32-bit Windows XP Client with the 64-bit Windows 2003 Server. Install the shared
printer on the Windows XP client and set the Printer Properties and Printing Preferences from the
Windows XP Client.
Windows XP / Vista
KMnet Viewer cannot use domain authentication on Vista.
Solution: Use the application password.
Although a user has administration privileges on a machine, the user may not have admin privileges
on for a printer running on that machine.
Solution: Run the driver in administrator mode by choosing "Run as Administrator".
Driver Deleter and KM Uninstaller will not remove printer drivers installed with the Add Print Wizard.
Solution:
1. Reboot the PC. If this is not possible, make sure that all applications using the driver are closed.
2. Delete the printers from the Printer Manager.
3. Close all Printer Property boxes.
4. Right-click on a blank spot in the printer manager to access Printer Server Properties.
5. Select Run as Administrator.
6. Select Printer Server Properties.
7. On the Driver tab, highlight all drivers that you wish to remove and click on Remove.
8. On the pop-up dialogue, select Remove Driver and Driver Package.
9. Click OK on the rest of the screens until you can see that the driver has been removed.

sizes and Duplex is selected. This is a known limitation in Word 2007.
Some objects in PowerPoint 2007 do not print in Poster mode for 3x3 pages or more. This is a
known limitation in PowerPoint 2007.
In Vista, Custom Paper Size is missing from the Paper Size list of Windows Photo Gallery. This is a
known limitation in the Photo Printing Wizard (PPW) application.
Interactive services dialog detection messages pop-up when printing mixed sized documents in
booklet mode on the 64-bit version of Vista.
When adding a 32-bit driver to a shared printer on a server running a 64-bit version of Windows, the
model name may appear multiple times in Share this Printer.
Solution: To avoid displaying multiple model names, choose "Have Disk" when using the
"Additional Drivers..." option and browse to the x86 driver INF file for the desired model to install it.
KPDL pass through mode fails when printing in Illustrator 10 (Illustrator CS). This is a known
limitation in Illustrator 10 on Vista.
Windows Vista, KPDL and PCL Mini-drivers Only
Some KPDL mini-driver features may be selected without the associated peripheral device attached
to the printer.
Solution: Verify that the associated peripheral device is attached to the printer before using the
feature.
If any of the Device Settings are manually changed in Printer Properties/Device Settings, Auto
Configure support will be deactivated for those changed settings until the system is rebooted.
Solution: To activate the Auto Configure support again, reboot the system. If rebooting is not an
option, reinstall the driver and wait several minutes for the Auto Configure to begin.
For the PCL mini-drivers, the paper size "User Defined Size" may appear in some applications as an
option. Selecting this paper size will cause the printer to use a default size, such as Letter/A4.
Solution: Ignore this entry. If a custom size is needed, add a Custom Form on the Printer Server
Properties dialog box.
Auto-configuration for Printer Memory may not function for some printers with on-board network
cards.
Solution: Set the value in Printer Properties manually.
The "Automatically Select" option may not select the proper paper source with the matching size
when documents are being printed.
Solution: This is an operating system limitation. Please select the exact paper source you want in
Document Properties, or choose the "Auto" option under paper source.

Office 2007. These are known limitations of the Microsoft XPS Document Writer (MSDW).

Solution: Split the copies into multiple print jobs.
When mixed paper size document is printed with N-up, the output paper size is incorrect.
