Using the WSD port

This section explains installation when using the WSD port.

The WSD port can be used only under Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008.
To install under Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008, you must have an account that has Manage Printers permission. Log on as an Administrator.
You can connect to the printer only if both the printer and computer are on the same network segment, or "Network discovery" is enabled. For details, see Windows Help.
