Using as the Windows Network Printer

This section assumes that the client has already been configured to communicate with a 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 shared printer.

Important

  • Only administrators and power users can perform this installation. Log on as a member of the Administrators or Power Users group.

  • 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 2003/2008 print server, notification functions of SmartDeviceMonitor may not be used with the client.
