To use the print server, install the printer driver by selecting “Network printer
server”, and then select the Windows 2000 / XP, Windows Server 2003, Win-
dows Vista, or Windows 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, Windows Vista, or Windows
NT 4.0 print server. Do not begin the following procedure before the client is set
up and configured correctly.
Important

ROM. If your operating system is Windows NT4.0, download printer driver
for Windows NT4.0 from the supplier's Web site. For details, ask your
sales/service representatives.
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

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.
The machine’s print server supports computers running Windows Vista,
SmartDeviceMonitor for Client cannot be installed on computers running
