Using as a Windows Network Printer

1	This describes how to install the PCL or RPCS printer driver when using the
	printer as a Windows network printer.

To use the print server, install the printer driver by selecting “Network printer server”, and then select the Windows 2000 / XP, Windows Server 2003, or Win- dows NT 4.0 shared printer.

This section assumes that the client has already been configured to communicate with a Windows 2000 / XP, Windows Server 2003, or Windows NT 4.0 print server. Do not begin the following procedure before the client is set up and con- figured correctly.

Important

❒To install the printer driver under Windows 2000 / XP Professional, Win- dows Server 2003, and Windows NT 4.0, you must have an account that has Manage Printers permission. Log on as an Administrators or Power Users group member.

❒If you print with a print server connected to the printer using the SmartDe- viceMonitor port, Recovery Printing and Parallel Printing cannot be used from the client.

❒If you print with a Windows XP or Windows Server 2003 print server, notifi- cation functions of SmartDeviceMonitor may not be used with the client.

❒If you print with a Windows NT 4.0 print server, install the printer driver be- fore you connect the print server to the printer.
