An IPP Print of a one-page A4 PDF containing a single page filling graphic, with the **Xerox Phaser 6120 PS** driver from Windows 7 Adobe Acrobat Reader DC, produces just a very small version of the image in the upper-left corner of the resulting PDF page in SavaPage. A print of the SavaPage Manual PDF shows extra quirks, such as some pages rendering upside down.

What about the generic **MS Publisher Color Printer** driver that is part of Windows? Although results look good on the surface, it produces _non-searchable_ PDF when printing from WordPad. Also, a copy / paste results in [Mojibake](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mojibake) (garbled text), which for example looks like this: dŚŝƐ ŝƐ DŽũŝďĂŬĞ ƵƐŝŶŐ. Note: the Driver Test Page is searchable though, so this stresses the need to test printing from different applications.

So it looks that some Windows drivers produce “kind-of” PostScript, perfectly understood by their target printer type/model, but not 100% according to the standard and therefore not portable to other environments.

Is there a driver that behaves as expected? So far I have achieved good results with the **Xerox Global Print Driver PS** driver. Download from the [Xerox Support Site](https://www.support.xerox.com/support/global-printer-driver/downloads). Select your Operating System and download _“V4 Xerox Global Print Driver PostScript”_ or, when not available for your Windows version, select _“V3 Xerox Global Print Driver PostScript”_.
