Last edited 13/02/01 page 5
2.2.1. Installation of OKI C7200/C7400
These printers are installed through an inf-file that comes with the print drivers.
To add the driver to the termial server do the following:
• Log on to the console as an administrator.
• On the console of the Terminal Server, click Start->Settings->Printers.
• Click “Add printer”, create a printer on a local port, e.g. LPT1.
• On the list of available drivers, click “Have Disk” and browse to the location
of the driver to the printer you want to add a driver for (OKI C7x00).
After this procedure, the driver files are added to the server and registry is updated
to contain this new driver. Now you can delete the local printer and the drivers will
remain on the server.
When a user now connects to a print queue containing this driver, the local copy
will be used.
2.2.2. Installation of OKIPage 20/24
This driver is added using a setup program that comes with the driver. This setup
program must be executed on the terminal server to add the driver. Before installing
software to a Terminal Server, the session Administrator is using must be put in
“Install mode”.
To add the driver to the terminal server do the following:
• Log on to the console as an administrator
• Open a command prompt and execute the following command to set the
session in install mode: “CHANGE USER /INSTALL”
• Run the setup program for the printer driver as specified in the manual for
the printer. Create a local printer on e.g. LPT1, there is no need to share
the printer.
• Now the drivers are added to the server, and you can delete the newly
created local printer.
When a user now connects to a print queue containing this driver, the local copy
will be used.
2.3. Unstall OKI printer drivers
When a print driver is installed on a NT 4.0 server, there are added several files
under:
%systemroot%\system32\spool\drivers\w32x86
I addition to registry information under the following path:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Environm
ents\
Windows NT x86\Drivers\Version-2
To remove an unwanted printer driver, these files and registry parameters must be
removed. How to do this is described in article Q162258 on Microsoft TechNet (see
appendix)
