Appendix
Operational Requirements and Restrictions in
the Microsoft Cluster Server Environment
This section describes operational requirements and restrictions for using a printer in the
Microsoft Cluster Server environment.
When Installing the Printer Driver
Take notice of the following points when using a printer in the Microsoft Cluster Server
environment:
• Only server cluster environments in Microsoft Cluster Server are guaranteed to work with the
printer drivers.
• The printer driver supports a server cluster consisting of two nodes. A cluster of three or more
nodes is not supported.
• There must be only one spooler resource in the server cluster. Multiple spooler resources are
not available.
• Select a Standard TCP/IP port for the printer.
• The printer driver must be installed in each cluster node individually. Otherwise it might be
impossible to add a new driver to the virtual server.
When Installing the Canon Driver Information Assist
Service
In order to set up the printer configuration automatically or to use the Job Accounting feature, it
is necessary to register the Canon Driver Information Assist Service as a cluster object in each
node of the cluster server. To do this, after installing the Canon Driver Information Assist
Service in each node, add it to the same group as the print cluster resources (Printer Spooler,
IP Address, Network Name, and Physical Disk) in the Cluster Administrator.

Install the Canon Driver Information Assist Service in each node using
the Installer.
NOTE
For instructions on how to install the Canon Driver Information Assist Service, see "Installing the
Canon Driver Information Assist Service," on p. 2-29.
