Technical Paper: Fuji Xerox DocuPrint P215b Driver Deployment on Windows 10 Document ID: FX-P215b-WIN10-2025 Product: Fuji Xerox DocuPrint P215b Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (32-bit & 64-bit) Issue Date: April 13, 2026 1. Overview The Fuji Xerox DocuPrint P215b is a monochrome laser printer known for its high-speed printing (up to 20 ppm) and low operating cost. However, Fuji Xerox (now part of Fujifilm Business Innovation) did not release an official dedicated driver for Windows 10 for this legacy model. Critical Note: This printer relies on a compatible driver from older Windows versions. Without the correct driver, Windows 10 will either fail to detect the device or label it as an "Unspecified device." 2. Recommended Driver Solution Since an official Windows 10 driver does not exist, the stable solution is to use the Windows 8.1 / Windows 8 (64-bit or 32-bit) driver in compatibility mode.
