Hello KZbin!!
Today I will show you how to extract a printer driver which is already installed on Windows 10.
Why do we need to know this?
Well the answer lies in the following points:
1. The CD/DVD/USB where you printer driver was stored is corrupted or unreadable.
2. The printer driver is not available on the internet.
3. For some reason you do not have access to internet.
Requirements:
--------------
Following are the requirements to extract the printer driver.
1. The driver must be installed in the operating system.
2. If for some reason you have formatted your system, then you have to find out a system where the same printer driver is already installed.
Important notes:
----------------
1. If you extract driver from Windows 10, it will work on Windows 10 only.
2. If you extract driver from Windows 7, it my work in Windows 10.
3. If you extract driver from 32 bit OS, it my work in 64 Bit, however it will not work otherwise.
I have a HP M202n printer installed in my Windows 10 system.
I will identify the folders which contains the drivers and check
whether I have selected correct folder or not by installing the printer.
Lets get started.
Steps:
-------
1. Browse the following folder:
C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository
Once the folder opens look for folder names starting with HP.
Please note if you have Canon printer, you will look for folder names starting with CN, for epson look for EP. I will look for HP as I have HP printers.
In my system I see that there are 3 folders whose name starts with HP. Out of these 3 folders only one folder will contain your driver.
2. I will open the folder one by one and look for the driver.
Ok out of the 3 folders, 2 folders contained only 2-3 files which means this is not the folder I am looking for. Only one of the folder contains more than 10 files. I will copy the contents of this folders in some other location. I have copied it to folders named myprinterdriver You can name it whatever you want.
3. Now we will check whether the drivers which we have extracted are correct or not. We do this by going through installation process of the printer and when it asks for the driver location, we will specify folder myprinterdriver
Once you are confirmed that you have copied correct folders from FileRepository, you can take a backup of these folders in USB or CD or DVD.
Thats it.
I hope you liked it.
