Using as a Windows Network Printer
This describes how to install the RPCS printer driver when using the printer as a Windows network printer.
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 the printer driver under Windows 2000 / XP / Vista, and Windows Server 2003 / 2003 R2, you must have an account that has Manage Printers permission. 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.
