Installing Driver Without Access To Printer?

Hello,

I'm a graphic designer (I generally work on Macs).

 

My client recently purchased a TSC ME-340 thermal transfer printer. He also supplied me with a PC laptop running Windows so that I can setup/design some label templates for him to use.

 

My question is this, can I install the TSC printer driver/s without actually connecting to the TSC thermal transfer printer?

 

I don't have access to the printer right now but would like to start setting up the label templates.

 

When I go to setup a new label in BarTender Ultralite it asks me to select a printer before proceeding but I have had difficulty installing the printer driver and think it may have something to do with not having the PC laptop connected to the TSC printer.

 

Any help/advice/information is greatly appreciated.

  You can create a dummy printer by install printer to "null" port.

   

  Download a driver from

  http://www.seagullscientific.com/drivers/windows-printer-drivers-download.aspx

   

  Run installer to start DriverWizard (c:\seagull\driverwizard.exe).

  Select install printer driver.

  Select other(parallel or serial).

  Select appropriate printer model.

  [Add port] > select local port > [New port]

  type "null" as name.

  Select the null port created and proceed driver install.
