>Is this one of the new 'Windows printers' that rely on the system CPU to handle the print formatting, like the 3100?

I'm not sure what you mean here. (You mean, 'as opposed to relying on the printer's CPU to handle the print formatting?')

You can only apply SP3 to systems with the development version on it; systems with the runtime need the updated files, and require reregistration of the runtime components. Simply copying the updated files in place is not an adequate reinstall of the runtime engine.

This turns out to be great advice. I thought I had upgraded the system to SP3 but I was mistaken. This will be done

This worked! Thanks. Some features (like print quality) aren't available, but at least it works. Hopefully, after installing SP3, we can operate with the new printer's native driver.
