    ARM Printers

    Hi I am in an urgent need of Kyocera printers that support ARM64 processors for printing. If not Kyocera are there any other brands?

    I'll be the first to say, I don't recommend using generic drivers in any situation. However, Microsoft does have a generic print driver. I'm sure you will see diminished functionality (like the ability to recognize optional paper sources or finishers), but maybe it will suit your situation.

    If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
    1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
    2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
    3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
    4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
    5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.

      BC has you on the right track..the hardware is not the problem, it's the compatible SOFTWARE that you need. Print Drivers are built to live in certain processor environments. 64bit vs 32bit, Intel vs MAC (Motorola, etc.) and then we get to the ARM processor which is NOT widely supported for printing.

      As BC says, any PCL or PS driver you can get to run on ARM will send data to ANY printer and that printer will render it.

      However ANY random driver is likely not going to have device specific functions so will be limited in functionality

        Thank you all for this advice.

        I did find this, so I am hoping it works please see article below. They mention ARM64 as an operating system. Fingers crossed it works.

          I had no issues setting up the KX Driver on an ARM based laptop... We bought a device specifically so we could test out software and printing from ARM. Just grab the latest driver
