This is so odd to me. I'm googling for references but have
had no luck so far.

At one company, we have about a dozen people (on Windows XP)
using the same Xerox printer. Everyone accesses the printer
as a local printer on an IP port.

We downloaded a new driver but wanted to roll it out carefully.
I installed it on the admin machine by entering the Printer
Properties, Advanced tab, New Driver and made sure that the
new driver was selected in the "Driver" drop down.

It turns out that changing the driver in this drop down
changes it for everyone!! It wiped out saved settings too.

Question 1: Is this correct behaviour? Are these drivers
associated with the physical printer in some way?
Question 2: Is it possible to have two users with different
drivers?

I just tried the same thing on a different network and this
did not happen. Is this a Xerox thing? I am not at the company
where this happened right now so I can't experiment.

Thanks for your time.
