Using as a Windows Network Printer
This describes how to install the PCL or RPCS printer driver when using the
printer as a Windows network printer.
To use the print server, install the printer driver by selecting “Network printer
server”, and then select the Windows 2000 / XP, Windows Server 2003, or Win-
dows NT 4.0 shared printer.
This section assumes that the client has already been configured to communicate
with a Windows 2000 / XP, Windows Server 2003, or Windows NT 4.0 print
server. Do not begin the following procedure before the client is set up and con-
figured correctly.
Important
❒ To install the printer driver under Windows 2000 / XP Professional, Win-
dows Server 2003, and Windows NT 4.0, you must have an account that has
Manage Printers permission. Log on as an Administrators or Power Users
group member.
❒ If you print with a print server connected to the printer using the SmartDe-
viceMonitor port, Recovery Printing and Parallel Printing cannot be used
from the client.
❒ If you print with a Windows XP or Windows Server 2003 print server, notifi-
cation functions of SmartDeviceMonitor may not be used with the client.
❒ If you print with a Windows NT 4.0 print server, install the printer driver be-
fore you connect the print server to the printer.
