Installing the PCL or RPCS Printer Driver

To use the print server, install the printer driver by selecting "Network printer server", and then select the Windows 2000/XP/Vista, or Windows Server 2003/2003 R2 shared printer.

This section assumes that the client has already been configured to communicate with a Windows 2000/XP/Vista, or Windows Server 2003/2003 R2 print server. Do not begin the following procedure before the client is set up and configured correctly.

To install printer driver under Windows 2000/XP Professional/Vista, and Windows Server 2003/2003 R2, 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 under Windows XP/Vista or Windows Server 2003/2003 R2 print server, notification functions of SmartDeviceMonitor may not be used with the client.
