Installing the Client Software for SMB Printing
This section describes how to set up the client software for SMB printing which is available for
the local area network over TCP/IP.
There are three ways to set up the printer drivers for SMB printing:
• Using the installer in the Client1 CD-ROM
When you insert the Client1 CD-ROM into your CD-ROM drive, the installer automatically
starts. You can install printer drivers and other client software using the installer. If you
want to install printer drivers as well as other client software, this method is convenient.

• Using Point and Print
You can install the printer driver by double-clicking network queues on the system. By this
method, printer drivers can be downloaded from the system so that the Client1 CD-ROM is
not required. However, other client software cannot be installed using this method.
