Need help for a buddy having problems w/ Win7 and a Bizhub 7235. Possibly driver??

OK, so as if my own printer driver problems here at work aren't enough (that's a whole 'nother Oprah) I'm trying to help a buddy w/ his business printer. It's a Bizhub 7235 (also says "super G3" on it if that matters). What he's telling me is this.....

#1.) 2 different Dell computers that are fairly new, Win 7, plenty powerful, etc. One of the computers prints *most* of the time. The 2nd one not nearly as often, though occasionally. (Yeah, WTF is right)

#2.) The "computer guy" who installed the Bizhub originally says there's really not a good driver for the Bizhub 7235 in Windows 7 so after the XP driver wasn't working so well, he installed a new print driver but my buddy doesn't know enough to tell me what it was.

#3.) I already hate printers & printer drivers that wreak havoc. Granted, this is probably a network printer which introduces new problems, but why can't these $#!^~#~ manufacturers simply create a no-brains firmware driver that is plug & play, never leaves the machine & always plays nice???



P.S. According to this link....... http://kmbs.konicaminolta.us/content/support/windows7.html .........it looks like the stupid thing has a Win7 driver??? (Scroll toward bottom)
 
Control Panel > Devices and Printers > right-click Bizhub > Printer Properties > Ports > Configure Port > uncheck SNMP Status Enabled
