| Error Message | Likely Cause | Fix | |----------------|--------------|-----| | “Driver is not digitally signed” | Windows Driver Signature Enforcement enabled (especially on Windows 10/11) | Reboot into Advanced Startup > Disable Driver Signature Enforcement, then install. | | “0x0000007e – Device not started” | Conflicting old driver remnants | Clean boot Windows, run the DriverStore Explorer (RAPR.exe) to remove orphaned Blueprint packages. | | “Spooler crashes when printing label” | Corrupted print processor registration | In printer properties > Advanced > Print Processor – change from “winprint” to “BlueprintLP” (if available). | | “USB device not recognized” | Power management suspending the port | Device Manager > Universal Serial Bus controllers > Root Hub > Properties > Power Management – uncheck “Allow computer to turn off this device.” | | “Error - Print job stalls at 50%” | Label size mismatch between driver and design software | Ensure the software page size exactly matches driver preferences. Disable “Scale to fit.” |

| Risk Category | Assessment | |---------------|-------------| | Source authenticity | High risk if downloaded from third-party sites (e.g., driver download aggregators). Low risk if from official Blueprint website. | | Malware prevalence | Driver installers are sometimes bundled with adware/PUPs. Scan with antivirus before execution. | | Digital signature | Should be signed by “Blueprint” or the manufacturer. Unsigned drivers may fail installation on modern Windows (64-bit) unless test mode is enabled. | | Privilege requirement | Requires Administrator rights to install kernel-mode drivers. | | System impact | Adds a print queue, may start background services (e.g., printer discovery, status monitoring). | This version fixes the following bugs reported in
