print server. See "Setting Monitoring Preferences" on page

printer on a network. See the following pages for details:

Using an additional driver
When the print server’s OS is Windows XP, 2000, NT 4.0, or Server
2003, you can install the additional drivers on the server. The
additional drivers are for client computers that have different OS
from the server.
Follow the steps below to set a Windows XP, 2000, NT 4.0, or
Server 2003, as a print server, then install the additional drivers.
Note:
❏ You must access Windows XP, 2000, NT 4.0, or Server 2003, as the
Administrators of the local machine.
❏ If the print server’s OS is Windows NT 4.0, the additional driver
can be used only on Service Pack 4 or later.
