Step 12: IBM LAN Network Installation
Distributing the Printer Software to Network
Clients
Before a client can print to the printer, the printer software must be
installed on the clients workstation. Rather than distributing the
CD-ROM to each client, disk images of the installation software can
be placed in a public directory or onto diskettes.
Use a file management tool to copy disk images. Use the Structure of
the CD-ROMs section in Step 10: Understanding the Software to
determine the location of the disk images on the CD-ROM.
