It may be difficult to match an inkjet printer with a compatible printer driver. The rules that apply to other classes of printers don't always apply to inkjet printers, because there are many different types of inkjet printers on the market. Installing a WHQL signed printer driver that's designed to match your specific printer always produces better results. Your hardware manufacturer provides technical support and assistance for xbased versions of Windows.
Your hardware manufacturer provides support because an xbased version of Windows was included with your hardware. Your hardware manufacturer might have customized the installation of Windows with unique components. Unique components might include specific device drivers or might include optional settings to maximize the performance of the hardware.
Microsoft will provide reasonable-effort assistance if you need technical help with your xbased version of Windows. However, you might have to contact your manufacturer directly. Your manufacturer is best qualified to support the software that your manufacturer installed on the hardware. Skip to main content. This browser is no longer supported.

Contents Exit focus mode. Please rate your experience Yes No. Any additional feedback? Note To print from a computer that's running a bit version of Windows, you must have a bit printer driver. Important We don't recommend printer drivers that aren't WHQL signed, because Microsoft has no compatibility test results about the quality of these printer drivers.
Note There are many other common languages on printers in the East Asian marketplace, because some East Asian regions require more complex fonts.
Note Some printers support more than one type of printer emulation. Note When you use the following method, the print job is printed locally and the print job is then redirected to the network path.
Note Installing a WHQL signed printer driver that's designed to match your specific printer always produces better results. Thanks, Ken Update: Vista Ultimate includes two separate disks, one with bit and one with bit. Edited February 9, by KenAF2.

Veteran Posted February 9, I8PP Posted February 9, Ah I see - sorry, I gave you false information there! Posted April 7, After it applies this fix, the installer will create a shortcut that specifies a matching string to run during the application installation, thereby enabling the uninstallation to occur later.
MirrorDriverWithComposition The fix allows mirror drivers to work properly with acceptable performance with desktop composition. MoveToCopyFileShim The problem occurs when an application experiences security access issues during setup. CopyFile APIs avoid moving the security descriptor, which enables the application files to get the default descriptor of the destination folder and prevents the security access issue.
OpenDirectoryAcl The problem is indicated by an error message that states that you do not have the appropriate permissions to access the application.
The fix reduces the security privilege levels on a specified set of files and folders. The performance issues are visible in certain low-end cards at certain resolutions where the x buffer is scaled to fit the display resolution.
PreInstallDriver The fix preinstalls drivers for applications that would otherwise try to install or start drivers during the initial start process. ProcessPerfData The problem is indicated by an Unhandled Exception error message because the application tried to read the process performance data registry value to determine if another instance of the application is running.
The fix handles the failure case by passing a fake process performance data registry key, so that the application perceives that it is the only instance running. Note: This issue seems to occur most frequently with.
NET applications. PromoteDAM The fix registers an application for power state change notifications. PropagateProcessHistory The problem occurs when an application incorrectly fails to apply an application fix. ProtectedAdminCheck The problem occurs when an application fails to run because of incorrect Protected Administrator permissions. The fix addresses the issues that occur when applications use non-standard Administrator checks, thereby generating false positives for user accounts that are being run as Protected Administrators.
In this case, the associated SID exists, but it is set as deny-only. RedirectCRTTempFile The fix intercepts failing CRT calls that try to create a temporary file at the root of the volume, thereby redirecting the calls to a temporary file in the user's temporary directory. The fix intercepts the CoCreateInstance call for the missing filter and then redirects it to a supported version. RedirectShortcut The problem occurs when an application cannot be accessed by its shortcut, or application shortcuts are not removed during the application uninstallation process.
The fix redirects all of the shortcuts created during the application setup to appear according to a specified path. Desktop or Quick Launch shortcuts: You must manually place the shortcuts on the individual user's desktop or Quick Launch bar.
This issue occurs because of UAC restrictions: specifically, when an application setup runs by using elevated privileges and stores the shortcuts according to the elevated user's context. In this situation, a restricted user cannot access the shortcuts. You cannot apply this fix to an. RelaunchElevated The problem occurs when installers, uninstallers, or updaters fail when they are started from a host application. The fix enables a child. The fix retries the OpenService API call and verifies that the user has Administrator rights, is not a Protected Administrator, and by using read-only access.
Applications can test for the existence of a service by calling the OpenService API but some applications ask for all access when making this check. This fix retries the call but only asking for read-only access. The fix enables the application to run by using elevated privileges. The fix is the equivalent of specifying requireAdministrator in an application manifest. The fix enables the application to run by using the highest available permissions. This is the equivalent of specifying highestAvailable in an application manifest.
RunAsInvoker The problem occurs when an application is not detected as requiring elevation. The fix enables the application to run by using the privileges that are associated with the creation process, without requiring elevation. This is the equivalent of specifying asInvoker in an application manifest. SessionShim The fix intercepts API calls from applications that are trying to interact with services that are running in another session, by using the terminal service name prefix Global or Local as the parameter.
At the command prompt, you can supply a list of objects to modify, separating the values by a double backslash. Or, you can choose not to include any parameters, so that all of the objects are modified. Therefore, applications that require access to Session 0 automatically fail.
SetProtocolHandler The fix registers an application as a protocol handler. You can control this fix further by typing the following command at the command prompt: Client;Protocol;App Where the Client is the name of the email protocol, Protocol is mailto, and App is the name of the application. Note: Only the mail client and the mailto protocol are supported. You can separate multiple clients by using a backslash.
SetupCommitFileQueueIgnoreWow The problem occurs when a bit setup program fails to install because it requires bit drivers. The fixdisables the Wow64 file system that is used by the bit editions of Windows, to prevent bit applications from accessing bit file systems during the application setup. ShimViaEAT The problem occurs when an application fails, even after applying acompatibility fix that is known to fix an issue.
Applications that use unicows. The fixapplies the specified compatibility fixes by modifying the export table and by nullifying the use of module inclusion and exclusion. ShowWindowIE The problem occurs when a web application experiences navigation and display issues because of the tabbing feature. The fixintercepts the ShowWindow API call to address the issues that can occur when a web application determines that it is in a child window.
Sonique2 The application uses an invalid window style, which breaks in DWM. This fix replaces the window style with a valid value. SpecificInstaller The problem occurs when an application installation file fails to be picked up by the GenericInstaller function.
The fixflags the application as being an installer file for example, setup. SpecificNonInstaller The problem occurs when an application that is not an installer and has sufficient privileges generates a false positive from the GenericInstaller function. The fixflags the application to exclude it from detection by the GenericInstaller function. This fix resolves the issue. UIPIEnableCustomMsgs The problem occurs when an application does not properly communicate with other processes because customized Windows messages are not delivered.
The fixenables customized Windows messages to pass through to the current process from a lower Desktop integrity level. This fix is the equivalent of calling the RegisterWindowMessage function, followed by the ChangeWindowMessageFilter function in the code. You can control this fix further by typing the following command at the command prompt: MessageString1 MessageString2 Where MessageString1 and MessageString2 reflect the message strings that can pass.
Note: Multiple message strings must be separated by spaces. UIPIEnableStandardMsgs The problem occurs when an application does not communicate properly with other processes because standard Windows messages are not delivered.
The fixenables standard Windows messages to pass through to the current process from a lower Desktop integrity level. This fix is the equivalent of calling the ChangeWindowMessageFilter function in the code. You can control this fix further by typing the following command at the command prompt: Where reflects the first message ID, reflects the second message ID, and reflects the third message ID that can pass.
Note: Multiple messages can be separated by spaces. VirtualizeDeleteFileLayer The fix virtualizes DeleteFile operations for applications that try to delete protected files.
There are many questions about it in several forums but here: sevenforums. Well, one of us is wrong. Either it's me, or whoever wrote that comment. It's absolutely trivial to work out which one of us is wrong.
I don't have enough reputation to comment, but I can confirm that this is indeed the case. You cannot change the compatibility settings for a 64bit executable the same way you can do for 32bit executables. Sorry, that I can't be any more help than just confirm what you already know.
I would love to find a solution to this myself. Add a comment. Active Oldest Votes. Improve this answer. I tried this and it works for some. How do I make it work for the program that has it greyed out for change settings for all users?
