Sharing Windows Printer Configuration Across LPS Versions
In versions 9.5 or later, Windows printers can be configured from the Loftware Label Manager Device
Configuration grid. Before Version 9.5, Windows printers could not be configured within Loftware.
Clicking on a Windows printer's Options button from the LLM Device Configuration grid would direct
you to the Windows Control Panel's Printer dialog.
Note: If you are working in an environment with multiple LPS installations and versions, be aware that sharing
LLM / LPS version 9.5 or later Windows printer configuration files with a pre-9.5 version will wipe out any
Windows printer configuration settings made in Version 9.5. Windows printer settings made in 9.5 or later are
not supported in pre-9.5 versions.Refer to
Sharing Windows Printer Configuration Across LPS Versions
in the
Upgrade and Import section of the Loftware Print Server and Label Manager Installation Guide for a best-
practice solution.
This problem can occur when the sequence of LLM / LPS usage is Version 9.5 to Version pre-9.5, back to
Version 9.5, or upgrade, downgrade, upgrade. When you configure a Windows printer in Version 9.5 or
later and then open the printer grid in LLM / LPS Version pre-9.5, the Windows printer configuration
settings you had set in Version 9.5 are lost. When you re-open the Windows PSO dialog in Version 9.5,
you will have to re-configure the printer.
To work around this problem, back up 9.5 printr32.cfg and printr32.ini printer configuration files so that
they can be restored when needed, as demonstrated below:
1. In Version 9.5 and later, configure your Windows printer options (from its PSO page) to the
desired settings.

2. Click OK.
3. Go to the Loftware Labeling folder in Windows Explorer. Sort the list on Date Modified.
Note: The printr32.cfg and the printr32.ini files had just been updated.
