As a response Windows will be “Searching for Printers and Scanners”: pick the detected SavaPage printer and select “Add device".

Installing a IPP Printer or Raw Printer is similar for different Windows versions with slight variations in dialog appearance. When asked for a printer driver, pick a plain PostScript driver from the list. Any type/model will do, as long as it generates standard PostScript spool files. It makes sense to select just a simple, no-frills type/model. Caution: Although a printer driver may render printed documents correctly on first sight, its SafePages PDF might not be searchable. You can simply Download the PDF result and check with a simple copy/paste of text. When the pasted result is garbled, the printer driver delivered so-called “Mojibake” [a] |
