# Using as a NetWare Print Server/Remote Printer

This describes how to set up the Windows computer used as the NetWare client.

- Manage Printers permission is required to install the drivers. Log on as an Administrators group member.

- You can install the printer driver from the CD-ROM provided with this machine or download it from the manufacturer's Web site.

- IPX/SPX (NetWare) cannot be used under Windows Vista/7 and Windows Server 2008/2008 R2.

- In an IPv6 environment, NetWare servers cannot be used.

The following explanation assumes NetWare Client is installed on the client computer and the NetWare server environment is correctly set up. Install all necessary client applications before following this procedure.

Set up the printer driver while logging on to the NetWare file server.

The following values are used in the example:

- NetWare version: 4.1

- File server name: CAREE

- Queue name: R-QUEUE

   The details shown in [Comment], [Driver], and [Port] vary depending on the operating system, machine model, and port.
