33-23 Configuring a Windows NT server to support the DocuColor

Installing the DocuColor as a shared PostScript printer

The first step in creating a printer is installing the Windows NT PostScript printer driver and the DocuColor PPD (PostScript printer description), which gives your applications access to printer features.

The installation instructions in Getting Started can be used for every workstation that will print directly and independently to the DocuColor. However, if you are an administrator running Windows NT Server or Windows NT Workstation, you can also create a printer and share it with clients on the network. When a printer is shared, clients who are not able or are not given permission to establish an independent network connection to the DocuColor have to print through the server.

You can specify sharing of the printer during installation of the DocuColor printer files. If you have not yet installed the DocuColor printer files on the Windows NT print server computer, do so now following the instructions in the Getting Started. During installation, enter the information necessary to share the DocuColor.

If you have already installed the DocuColor printer files on the computer you are using as a Windows NT print server, use the following procedure to share the DocuColor.
