Black Ice Software has released version 15.30 of our Printer Driver’s, with fundamental changes to the installation and configuration.

These new changes significantly simplify the printer driver deployment for Administrators, reducing the time spent on new deployment’s and upgrades.

The improvements were made to how the printer driver is configured through the INI files or profile file. These improvement will apply to every future OEM printer driver installation or any installation that uses the MSI installer with the INI file option, including the RTK sample installers.

The changes were made to the handling of the binary "Flags," "LaunchFlags," "AnnotationFlags" and "WatermarkFlags" keys which are replaced with easy to use keywords. Any previously created INI files will continue to work with future installations, preventing the need to immediately update existing INI files.

There are also several additional improvements to the MSI installation and uninstallation process.

The complete list of improvements in the latest Printer Driver includes the following:
