Installing Printer Drivers on Windows Networks

You have three ways to install a Xerox printer driver and other components in Windows environments.

Direct Installation

Use the Xerox Printer Installation Utility to install Xerox printer drivers quickly and easily for your network printers. If you are a system administrator or user who has the CentreWare Print and Fax Drivers CD or knows the network location where the contents of the CD has been saved, you can configure settings for several printer drivers at one time and install the drivers directly onto a PC or print server.

Distributed Installation

Copy the contents of the CentreWare Print and Fax Drivers CD to your network. (See Locating Installation Files on the CD on page 2-29.) Open the Xerox Printer Configuration Utility, set up a configuration file, and distribute a packet of installation files containing the configuration file to users to install the printer drivers on their PCs. (See Distributed Installation on page 2-11 to perform a distributed installation.)

Point and Print Installation

Copy the contents of the CentreWare Print and Fax Drivers CD to your network. You can then install the drivers locally, modify the device settings and document settings (Preconfiguring Default Driver Settings on page 2-24) and copy them to the server for enterprise use (Point and Print Installations on page 2-23).
