Windows 10: generic text driver

How to get the latest generic test only driver?

Generic/Text Driver deletes with Updates

We install the Star receipt printer, it assigns a USB port (USB 001 usually) When we install the Generic text, we install it to use that same port So they are sharing the USB001.

The star printer can also be shown under unidentified printers and still work with the Generic Text. This happens because even though the printer is showing as unidentified, it STILL assigns a USB Print driver and port.

The Generic Text driver is the bridge between the printer and whatever POS Software you are using.

Most POS Software cannot use a receipt printer without the Generic Text. Therefore every time Windows does a MAJOR update, and removes the G/T Driver on it's own it causes a tech support nightmare!
