Using as the Windows Network Printer

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

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

To install printer driver under Windows 2000/XP Professional/Vista, Windows Server 2003, and Windows NT 4.0, you must have an account that has Manage Printers permission. For this, log on as an Administrators or Power Users group member.
If you print with a print server connected to the printer using the SmartDeviceMonitor port, Recovery Printing and Parallel Printing cannot be used from the client.
If you print with a Windows XP/Vista or Windows Server 2003 print server, notification 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 before you connect the print server to the printer.
