windows 7 - AddPrinterDriver failed but completed successfully

I have downloaded Konica Minolta Magicolor 2530 DL printer drivers for Windows 7 x64 from the Konica Europe Website (mainly because it's not available on the US website).

During installation via Setup.exe it says

AddPrinterDriver failed!
pName:       KONICA MINOLTA magicolor 2530DL
pDriverFile: C:\Windows\system32\spool\DRIVERS\x64\MIMFN506.DLL
pDataFile:   MSDMLT06.SDD
pConfigFile: C:\Windows\system32\spool\DRIVERS\x64\MNT5UI06.DLL
The operation completed successfully.

The printer is turned on. I can access the web page of the printer through the browser.

What could I try to make the printer work?

Answer

Don't install the printer via Setup.exe, use the Windows Add printer functionality.

• Choose local printer, even the printer is connected to the network. Network printers are meant to be printers which are connected to someone else's PC.


• Create a Standard TCP/IP port and enter the IP address


• Choose Have disk


• Select mXP___06.inf (or any other INF file if there's only one) in the folder of the Setup
