Microsoft Surface tablet printing using an ARM based SnapDragon processor

[SalesServiceGuy]

Does anyone have any experience printing from a Surface tablet to a copier?

I understand most copier OEM's do not provide a print driver for this and that you must use a generic Microsoft IPP print driver supplied by Microsoft.

Advanced features like Dept Codes, Private print are not avilable with IPP drivers.

Sharp, Kyocera, and (soon) Epson will have ARM drivers. What manufacturer of printer are you looking for?

Most manufacturers are currently working on releasing ARM compatible drivers. And it is not just the Surface tablets, some laptops are also effected.

The delay lies with Microsoft.They are trying to hold the entire industry hostage through licensing.Similar to what Adobe did with PostScript.

Toshiba hhas no plans to develop an ARM compatible print driver. The market is too small.

The customer should be considering the Surface Pro featuring an Intel processor. A regular PCL print driver pointed at an IP address can be used.

The ARM processor is limited because it is designed for mobility over productivity.

Mopria is the preferred solution for most modern devices. If the device doesn't support it you may have a new sale on your hands .

OK, I will get the customer to specify Mopira certified in their spec check. I can handle it well. Thanks,
