Hi

 

DT have dug out a Roland TS-30 from the back of some cupboard - but we can't find drivers for it anywhere - does anyone have any they could let me have? Or point me to a handy website?

 

Many thanks

I'm on the lookout as well as ours seems to have given up, and for the life of me I can't find where the previous tech stuffed the drivers.

Does anyone have, or know where I can get, the Roland TS-30 drivers for Windows 7..?

 

Our existing ones (which worked on XP) don't appear to work correctly on Win 7....:(

i have just come across the same problem trying to get our ts-30 working in windows 7 however i have had some success.

after finding some information saying it was similar to the mdx-40a i thought id give this ago

 

i got the driver for the mdx-40a from the roland website and forced it to install it by pulling the driver ini files from the temp folder upon install.

then went to driver manager and forced windows to use the driver i gave it. and hay presto works a treat.

 

i contacted tech soft and told them and they said not they hadn't tryed that but only negative is be careful with the feed and speed settings.

anyways so far so good it reproduced the nice test pattern i made in 2d design

 

thought i would share my findings

Hi, I have just put Windows 7 on the machine that runs a TS-30 however when I point Windows to the driver folder I get this error: 'The printer driver is not compatible with a policy enabled on your computer that blocks NT 4.0 drivers.'

 

I have disabled this policy and am still getting the same error... any ideas? Thanks.

the policy that i have switched to disabled is

"Disallow installation of printers using kernel-mode drivers" this then gets rid of the message

 

one thing be careful of the limits height wise as it can exceed what u expect it to

That's the one I disabled to, yet it still says it.

can u confirm its set correctly it should be the one in

 

Computer Configuration (Enabled)hide --> Policies-->Administrative Template-->Printers (Disallow installation of printers using kernel-mode drivers Enabled )

 

and it has to be on the ou that the Machine(pc) sits in and set for the machine

 

thats the only setting i changed and then rebooted and it was fine might be worth modeling the gpo to insure its set if still not working.

Just noticed that it is only supported on 'Windows Server 2003, Windows XP, and Windows 2000 operating systems only'. Any way of getting the TS-30 to work on Windows 7 then?

yes thats all i did it works fine for out ts-30 you do have to force the driver though by manualy pulling it from the %temp% folder upon installation then forcing it to use it in divice manager

read the rest of the thred as it does say

 

 

u get the windows 7 drivers for the mdx-40a(not the ts-30) as there is not one. the ts-30 is a early mdx-40a so they are virtually the same

then

u get the drivers from the installer by clearing the %temp% folder then running the install application but do not actuly install

each step through the install look at the temp folder a new folder will apear there with the mdx-40a drivers in it. take a copy of these and put some where safe.

then go to divide manager adn tell the computer to use the drivers you just put some where safe it will not detect its compatable but it is you have to make it do it.

Hey guys,

 

I've just been asked to install a TS-30 also but im struggling to find the drivers in the temp folder. Could you point me in the right direction?

 

Thanks!

Hi - I sadly haven't worked it out...

 

Right, opened up the %temp% folder, cleared it, in the driver utility (setup64.exe IIRC) dropdown I chose mdx-40a, and watched at every step of the installation process for the files and folders which appear. Each time there's a new one put in there I copy it somewhere else to keep it safe.

 

Stop short of clicking the final 'install' at the second gui.

 

Go into device manager > update driver, browse to my file where the folders and files from %temp% have all been copied to, tick the box for browsing subfolders, click ok.

 

Nothing happens, can't find the drivers.

 

I *think* the problem might stem from where the folders and files are being created it's creating RolandRDMDX40A.INF as an empty FOLDER and not a .inf file as you might imagine.

 

But yeah, I'm quite stuck. Am I doing it right by the sounds of it though??

 

:/
