Network Client Distribution
To install the software on a network for network clients, the
software must be installed on all clients’ workstations. The
Network Installer utility automatically notifies client users
by email when a new printer is added to the network.
1. Install the Network Installer Utility:
□ In the Menu Installer, click the Network Software
button.
□ Click the Administration Tools button.
□ Click the Network Installer button and follow the
on-screen instructions
2. Set up existing server email accounts in Network
Installer.
3. Install the printer drivers:
□ Install the printer on the network as a shared printer.
The client drivers for the printer are automatically
copied as well.
□ Register the printer in Network Installer.
When the printer has been registered, Network Installer
sends an email to clients added to Network Installer
informing them that the printer is available on the network.
Each client can install the appropriate driver as follows:
• Windows 2000, XP, and NT 4.0 clients can install drivers
by opening the connectme.exe attachment to the email.
• Windows Me, 98, and 95 clients can install the drivers by
launching the Add Printer Wizard and following the
network administrator’s instructions for locating the
