Unfortunately, I don't have specific driver information for the Toshiba E Studio 163 on Windows 10. However, here are a few things you can try:
- Check Toshiba's Official Website:
- Visit Toshiba's official website and search for your specific model number.
- Look for the "Support" or "Downloads" section.
- Check for compatible drivers for Windows 10.
- Use Generic PCL or PostScript Drivers:
- Windows often has built-in generic printer drivers that can work with many devices, including printers and copiers.
- You might be able to use one of these generic drivers to get your Toshiba E Studio 163 working.
- Consult with Toshiba Support:
- Reach out to Toshiba's technical support directly. They can provide specific guidance and potentially offer driver solutions.

That’s an old model, so finding a Windows 10 driver might be tricky. Check Toshiba’s official site first, but if they don’t have one, try using the Windows 7 or 8 driver in compatibility mode—it sometimes works. You can also try a generic PCL5 or PCL6 driver from Windows. If all else fails, third-party driver sites might have something, but be careful where you download from!

Hi there! Finding drivers for older models like the Toshiba e-Studio 163 can be a bit tricky, especially for newer systems like Windows 10, but you do have a few options:
Let us know how it goes or if you need help walking through any of the steps!
- Toshiba’s Official Website: Visit the Toshiba Business support page. From there, navigate to Support > Drivers & Downloads, and search for e-Studio 163. Sometimes older drivers may still work with compatibility mode on Windows 10.
- Use Compatibility Mode: If you find a Windows 7 or XP driver, try right-clicking the installer, selecting Properties > Compatibility, and set it to run in compatibility mode for an earlier version of Windows.
- Windows Update: Sometimes Windows 10 can detect and install a basic driver automatically. Try connecting the printer via USB, then go to Settings > Devices > Printers & Scanners, and hit “Add a printer.”
- Universal Printer Driver: Toshiba offers a Universal Printer Driver that may work with basic printing functions, though scanning might not be supported. You can search for “Toshiba Universal Print Driver” on their site or through a trusted source.

The Toshiba e-STUDIO 163 is an older copier model, and unfortunately, it doesn’t have native support for Windows 10 in many cases. However, you can still try a few things to get it working:
Let me know if you're using 32-bit or 64-bit Windows that can affect which method works best.
- Try Using Compatibility Mode
If you have an older driver (like for Windows 7 or XP), right click the installer, go to Properties > Compatibility, and run it in compatibility mode. This often helps install older drivers on newer systems. - Use the “Add a Printer” Wizard in Windows
Go to Settings > Devices > Printers & scanners > Add a printer, and let Windows try to detect it. If it doesn’t find it automatically, choose The printer I want isn’t listed and go through the manual setup. You may find a generic PCL or PS driver that works. - Try a Generic Driver
Toshiba copiers often work with generic PCL6 drivers available in Windows. These don’t offer full functionality but may allow basic printing. - Check Connection Type
Make sure your copier is properly connected via USB or network, and powered on before trying any installations. If it’s over the network, knowing the IP address helps in manual setup.
