If Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003 is on your network, the following procedure
enables you to set up a print server for more efficient management of network
printers. Once a print server is set up, print jobs can be managed by the print
server. Also, by setting up an alternate driver for the print server, printer drivers can
be installed in each computer via the network.
For instructions on how to set print servers, see the following procedures indicated
in the manual for each driver. (Since the UFR II printer driver is not supported by
Windows 98/Me, it cannot be used as an alternative driver.)
• If you want to use the PCL printer driver
See the procedure for alternative printer driver installation in Chapter 2, "Getting
Started," in the PCL Driver Guide.
• If you want to use the PS printer driver
See the procedure for alternative printer driver installation in Chapter 2, "Getting
Started," in the PS Driver Guide.
• If you want to use the fax driver
See the procedure for alternative fax driver installation in Chapter 2, "Getting
Started," in the Fax Driver Guide.

Check the settings for both <RX/Print Range> and <Setting/
Browsing Range> in [IP Address Range Settings], to see
whether the IP address of the computer in which a driver is to
be installed is permitted. See step 12 in "TCP/IP Settings," on
p. 3-3.
IMPORTANT
•
If the settings for both <RX/Print Range> and <Setting/Browsing Range> in [IP
Address Range Settings] do not permit the IP address, you cannot install a driver.
•
If the IP address of the computer is beyond the range of the permitted addresses
set for <RX/Print Range> after installing a driver, you cannot print or send a fax
from the computer.
