Installing a Printer driver

What is the printer driver that is needed for electronically forming companies within IRIS and electronically filing the Memorandum and Articles?

Attaching the Memorandum and Articles to the e-file is requiring a specific printer to be setup. How do I do this?

Either a Xerox Phaser 5550B (Windows 7, Windows Vista and Windows 2003/8) or Xerox DocuPrint N3225 printer (Windows 2003 only), needs to be installed on your workstation and renamed to IRIS with the Port set to File. Follow the instruction below depending on the operating system you are using below:

Using a Windows 7 or Vista workstation:

1. Go to Start (Windows symbol bottom left of screen) | Control Panel | Devices and Printers  (select Printers for Vista workstations) and click Add a Printer.

2. Select Add a Local Printer.

3. Alter Use an existing port: to FILE: (Print to File) and click Next.

4. Under Manufacturer select Xerox and under Printers select Xerox Phaser 5550B and click Next.

5. Select Use the driver that is currently installed (recommended) and click Next.

6. In the Printer name field enter IRIS and click Next. (For Vista workstations, confirm NO tick has been entered under Set as default Printer.)

7. Select Do not share this printer and click Next.

8. Confirm NO has been entered under Set as default printer (Windows 7 only.)

9. Click Next | Finish. Do not click Print Test Page as the printer is not physically available.

This workstation is now ready to electronically file incorporations with Companies House.
