How to create drivers repository

1. In DriversRepository create new folder with 'PrinterName'.
2. Next in that folder you have to create folders with names equal to supported system and arch. Like that:

• Xerox7835
  • Windows 7
    • x86
    • x64
  • Windows 10
    • x86
    • x64

3. Now download printer drivers and put it in corresponding directory in our printer folder in DriversRepository
4. After that create Driver.ini file in printer directory which must contain that:

Name = name of printer driver from ini file
Infx86 = name of inf file with driver for x86 printer installation
Infx64 = name of inf file with driver for x64 printer installation
