difference between canon mp and xps drivers

This driver has been designed, developed and optimised primarily to work in Citrix and other thin client network environments.If you have many Canon devices and would like to use one PCL driver rather than a specific driver for each device then this may be a suitable solution. This is a generic driver that works across a range of devices.You will need to add the devices capabilities to the Device Settings tab (Can it print in Colour, How many cassettes, What paper sizes, Is there a finisher attached etc). The driver has to be configured manually after installation.If you have many Canon devices and would like to use a single UFR driver rather than a specific driver for each device then this may be a suitable solution.

Most mid range Canon devices do not support postscript without the optional Postscript kit being installed.

Only to be used if your device supports Postscript.

Postscript is a printing language by Adobe that is more suited to professional printing environments where print quality takes priority over speed.

This driver is best suited to businesses that have a preference for PCL or if barcode printing is required.

Compatible with Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, 10 Server 2003, Server 2008 and Server 2012.

This depends on the device model and configuration. Older iR series machines may not contain PCL print capabilities. Most new devices in the iR Adv range support PCL out of the box.

Only to be used if your device supports PCL.

Supports barcode printing (Optional JetCAPS BarDIMM required).

Widely used in many enterprise applications such as AS400, Unix, and Oracle.

PCL is HP’s proprietary Page Description Language.

This is our preferred driver for Small/Medium Business installations due to its superior processing speed and wide ranging compatibility.

There is also a MAC OSX version of this driver which can be downloaded here.

This driver does not support Barcode printing.

During installation the driver will query the device for its capabilities so you do not have to manually specify its configuration.

Load Balancing technology allows the data to be processed by both the computer and the device resulting in a much faster processing time. It does this by compressing the print data before it reaches the device.

As the name suggests it is able to process jobs much faster than PCL or postscript drivers. UFRII stands for Ultra Fast Renderer 2.
