Using the WSD port
This section explains installation when using the WSD port.
The WSD port can be used only under Windows Vista or Windows Server 2008.
Manage Printers permission is required to install the driver. Log on as an Administrators group member.
If the machine is connected using the WSD port, bi-directional communication is not possible. For details about bi-directional communication, see "Making Option Settings for the Printer".
You can connect to the machine only if both the machine and computer are on the same network segment, or "Network discovery" is enabled. For details, see Windows Help.
