The PaperPort 9 Uses an older 5.XX version of the Black Ice printer driver that can be replaced with the latest release of the Black Ice Printer Driver.
Install PaperPort 9 on your Windows 7. Since the original printer driver in PaperPort is not compatible with Windows 7 systems, please follow the steps below to replace the printer driver in PaperPort 9:
1. Download and Install the latest release of Black Ice Printer Driver for Windows desktop 8.1/7/Vista/XP operating systems from the website or use the already installed Black Ice Printer Driver on the computer.
NOTE: If the PDF Printer Driver Demo is expired, or to remove the Demo watermark from the printed documents, please purchase a license and register the Black Ice Printer Driver.
To print to the PaperPort “desktop”, using the PDF, ColorPlus or TIFF/Monochrome Printer Driver please perform the following configuration steps:
1. Go to Control Panel > Devices and Printers > right click on the Black Ice Printer Driver > click on Printing preferences > Click on the Start Application tab
2. Click on the Enable Start Application checkbox, and browse the PaprPort.exe file. By default, the file is located at C:\Program Files\ScanSoft\PaperPort\PaprPort.exe.
3. Uncheck all options under Pass parameters except the Output Filename, and uncheck the Open output folder option on the bottom of the window.
4. When finished, click on Apply button and go to the Filename Generation Tab:
5. Set up the Output Directory to the preferred Paperport folder you would like to save the documents. Please make sure that there are no environment variables ( for example: <<USERNAME>> ) in the configured output directory.
6. Set up the File Format of the printed document. If printing to PDF, the file format must be PDF Image.
7. When finished, click on Apply and OK buttons.
8. From now on, when printing with the Black Ice printer driver, it will open the printed document in PaperPort “desktop” automatically as the integrated printer drivers did on Windows XP.
