<property id="HP LaserJet 2100 Series PS" type="STRING"><value>HP LaserJet 2100 Series PS</value></property><property id="HP LaserJet 2100 Series PS" type="STRING">is the driver used on the client, and<value>HP LaserJet 2100 Series PS</value>is the driver that should be mapped to on the host. -
Replace the driver name with
Universal Remote Printer.Example: In the example above, you would delete
HP LaserJet 2100 Series PSand replace it withUniversal Remote Printer.<property id="HP LaserJet 2100 Series PS" type="STRING"><value>Universal Remote Printer</value></property> -
