If you re-formatted the PC, then you likely wiped out the instance of the correct driver for your printer. Windows typically does not come with a driver for any but the most popular ID-card printers. When you reconnected the EdiSecure printer, it likely associated it with what it believed to be the closest driver to the one required (but missing) - the Datacard driver. To correct:

1. Through the Windows Control Panel, then Device and Printers (or Printers and Faxes if WinXP), find the instance of your printer (set up as Datacard); right-click on it; select "Remove Device" (or "Delete", if WinXP);
2. When complete, disconnect the printer from the PC;
3. Through Windows Control Panel => Programs (Add/Remove Programs if WinXP), find and un-install any instances you find of Datacard programs or drivers;
4. Reboot your PC;
5. From either the printer's install disk, or the manufacturer's website, download and install the correct driver for your Windows OS. If prompted to re-boot, do so. NOTE - do not connect the printer to the PC until you are either prompted to do so by the driver-installation program, or the installation completes normally and without errors.
6. Connect the printer to the PC. Give Windows time to recognize the device, associate the new/correct driver, and tell you it's ready for use.
7. Check in the Windows print center (Control-Panel=>Devices & Printers (or Printers & Faxes) to verify that it is now recognized as an EdiSecure printer.

Hi gatr216,
Have exactly the same problem as you and have still not found a solution. How about you did you manage to find the correct driver?

www.datacard.com Drivers are available, Download link in top left corner, Contact MidWestIDSolutions.com if you need more info

Make sure you have the driver available. Then click on the "add a device" under the hardware and sound tab. Windows should start looking for connected devices and find the Datacard. Then when it starts to install it windows will ask for the driver location. Now the problem is windows 7 is so new that there might not be a driver available for it to run the datacard and the windows xp driver might not work. So also check the manufacturer's website for a updated driver.

Go to Microsoft.com and check the WIn 7 side to see if they have any solutions, if not go to the Forums and seach for your datacard name, on the win 7 forums and see what others have found, is the way I do it, when testing new software for Microsoft....

and When I was Testing Win 7 there were a lot of issues with cards of all sorts.

card alignment is adjusted via the smart driver tool panel (edge to edge settings) it is done via software, there is no adjustment possible in the printer.

What error is it? What model?

you would need to replace the entire lamination assembly, it would not be worth cost for parts or time, buy same model printer used or trade in your current for discount on a Datacard CP80 Plus Printer
