SUMMARY
When attempting to set up or configure a printer driver from the Microsoft Windows Supplemental Driver Library (SDL), the following error message may appear

Insufficient memory to run Setup for driver

where is the name of the printer driver file.

This error can be caused by one of the following conditions:


 * There is not enough memory to run the printer setup.
 * The generic driver support files, GENDRV.EXE and GENLIB.DLL, are missing, corrupted, or did not get copied into the Windows \SYSTEM subdirectory during printer installation.

MORE INFORMATION
If there is not enough memory to run Printer Setup, try to increase available memory by closing all other open applications.

There are several SDL printer drivers (listed below) that are actually &quot;printer definition files&quot; and not complete drivers. They require the following two generic driver support files to be present in the \WINDOWS\SYSTEM subdirectory.

Filename    Size     Date       Location --  --   --     - GENDRV.EXE  71808    9-20-90     (5.25-inch disk 2) GENDRV.EXE 71808    9-20-90     (3.5-inch disk 7) GENLIB.DLL 65792    9-20-90     (5.25-inch disk 4) GENLIB.DLL 65792    9-20-90     (3.5-inch disk 4) These files is normally copied as part of the setup for the printer driver from the SDL disk. Some printers require some additional support files to function correctly. These additional files are also included on the SDL.

The following printer drivers are supplied on the SDL and require the generic driver support files GENDRV.EXE and GENLIB.DLL:
