HP 4250 manual Administrators-Add Domain Accounts page in the PSAs web

3I am trying to add a printer driver to the PSA, but I keep getting the error: Unauthorized to perform this action.

4I added a Windows 2000 driver to the PSA, but it did not show up in the driver list.

5I added a Windows XP driver to the PSA, but it did not show up in the driver list.

6I am having problems with Windows 2K and XP drivers.

7I cannot point and print a printer driver from the PSA onto my NT client PC.

8Special printing property options like Watermark, N-up, Back to Front, Zoomsmart, and rotate 180 degrees do not show up on the printer pages.

In order to install drivers onto the PSA, a user must be logged onto their PC with a user account that has permission to install software on that PC, and have a corresponding administrator account on the PSA. If NT domain authentication is enabled (on the Microsoft Network Settings

page), administrator accounts on the PSA can be set up on the

Administrators-Add Domain Accounts page (in the PSA's web

interface under Security). If NT domain authentication is not enabled, the user must set up a local administrator account on the PSA, with a

name and password that matches their NT user account.

Drivers for Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 usually work with both Windows 2000 and Windows XP. Consequently, many vendors will label a driver as Windows 2000 or XP when the driver conforms to the NT 4.0 driver specification. As a result, Windows 2000 drivers can show up as Windows NT drivers.

Drivers for Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 usually work with both Windows 2000 and Windows XP. Consequently, many vendors will label a driver as Windows 2000 or XP when the driver conforms to the NT 4.0 driver specification. Since there is no unique XP driver specification, drivers labeled by a printer vendor for XP will always appear as either NT 4.0 or Windows 2000 drivers.

Problems with Windows 2K and XP drivers can include:

●N-up (printing multiple pages in a reduced format on one page)

●booklet style (format the print job into a printed booklet)

●watermark (print a watermark on each page of the document)

●ZoomSmart (scales a letter-sized/A4 document or poster to tabloid/A3, or vice versa)

●back-to-front (prints the document in reverse order)

●rotate 180 degrees (rotates the document layout but not the paper)

If you are having problems with any of these features, first update the firmware. If the problem persists, reinstall the driver and select the "Use client side rendering with this driver" checkbox when selecting the driver to use with the print share. The problem should then be resolved.

If you are running version 2.5.XX of the PSA firmware, make sure Client Side Rendering (CSR) is not selected for the particular printer driver you are using. CSR drivers are only compatible with 2K or XP clients. If you have a combination of 2K/XP clients and NT clients, either create separate print queues for each platform, or create a single queue and only use the NT driver.

Newer Windows 2K and XP drivers now use a new print driver architecture. This new architecture is not compatibe the PSA firmware 2.3.252 or older. Upgrade the PSA firmware to 2.5.XX and reload the 2K/ XP printer driver. Select the option to "Use client side rendering".
