This English quick guide is based on the Korean catalog. Confirm model-specific compatibility and installation details on the manufacturer’s official page.
Download DS-RX1HS driver
- Match the full model number on the device label, including suffixes.
- Check your operating-system version and architecture on the official support page.
- Cancel pending print jobs before replacing an existing driver.
- Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for power, USB, and network connections.
Model and driver source
This guide is for the print-only 6-inch dye-sublimation thermal-transfer photo printer with usb 2.0 type-b; separate optional wireless systems are not built-in ethernet or wi-fi model DNP DS-RX1HS. The download button opens the official DNP support page in this window. The manufacturer’s page is authoritative for the available driver packages and their current compatibility.
Operating-system and download checks
The Korean catalog lists these systems for checking: The actual shared DS-RX1 / DS-RX1HS official download lists RX1 driver 1.2.3.0 for Windows 11 only; its README warns against using it on Windows 7/8/10. The current user guide lists Windows 11 64-bit. Separate driver 1.13.0 is labeled for Windows 7/8/10 32/64-bit. No Windows ARM, Server, Linux or specific Mac OS compatibility is inferred. Match the purchase region; the US page directs European users to European support. Available legacy files do not imply ongoing OS security support.. Select your exact operating system and version on the official page. If your version is not offered, do not install a package intended for a different system.
Connection and installation
- Check the exact printer, OS/architecture, administrator access and preserve needed jobs, queue and media settings. Use approved matching paper/ribbon, rated grounded power, a USB data cable and a stable ventilated location. Keep the cover closed and output clear; do not touch the cutter, hot head or gears.
- Choose the actual OS package. The Windows 11 README requires uninstalling the previous Windows 7/8/10 DNP driver before installing the Windows 11 driver, especially after upgrading Windows 10. Preserve other printers; do not delete every queue.
- The Windows 7/8/10 driver guide starts with the printer off and USB disconnected, then installs the package before connecting USB and switching on. Follow the downloaded package instructions; do not claim an old CD command file exists in the current EXE. Apply the device safe-cabling precautions and confirm the actual DS-RX1-series queue/port. Restart as directed. Do not copy an older installer tool or OS-specific menu labels to Windows 11.
- Match Paper Size to the installed media and verify supported Glossy/Matte and orientation; test a small photograph. Do not copy another printer Fine Matte option. Any external wireless module requires its own verified compatibility and instructions, not native printer SSID/WPS or Ethernet setup.
Troubleshooting
For missing/offline queues check power, USB data cable, compatible package and actual queue/port. Windows 8/10 may hide the queue until USB is connected and power is on. For Unspecified detection, verify package installation first and apply the official troubleshooting steps only to the identified Photo Printer instance. Match loaded paper/ribbon to Paper Size. Paper End or Ribbon End calls for replacement as a set; check the cover for Door Open. Head Cool Down clears automatically with ventilation, not driver reinstallation. Follow the exact jam/cutter instructions, never force the cutter or cut power during printing, and contact service for unresolved faults. Firmware is distinct from the driver.
