new konica-minolta printer magicolor 4650, with lots of printerdrivers (win 7)
Hello,
I bought a new konica-minolta printer: Magicolor 4650 DN. It comes with lots of printer drivers. I use Windows 7 64 bit. I think the printer installed itself when I plugged it into the network router (linksys). Windows 7 found the printer and I added the printer and it seem to work, including settings / properties for duplex / grayscale / color / page layout / number of pages per sheet etc. Question: This printer should support a lot of things and when I want to download software from the Konica minolta driver webpage, there are lots of things to download. Some of these have something to do with "ppd, pcl, xps" etc... I don't know what these things mean. Here are some of the directory names I downloaded: KMPPD64PSMINIwin… MC4650MONOwinx64 MC4650PCL6Winx64 MC4650PPDWin MC4650PSWinx64 MC4650XPSMINIVista MC4650XPSVistax64 UPDPCL6Winx64 UPDPSWinx64 Should I install all of these ? Why ? What extra will they give me ? I assume Vista-drivers are the same as Windows 7-drivers, right? Please clarify. I guess the printer would be capable of doing something more if I install these things - why else are they possible to download? Please help a newbie - full instructions/explanations would be nice... |
