INSTALLING PRINTER DRIVERS 15
Installing and connecting to a virtual printer
A virtual printer allows you to print to the Integrated Fiery Color Server using a predefined
set of job settings. You do not have to set print options manually. Before you can print to a
virtual printer, the administrator must create and configure the virtual printer using
Command WorkStation. After the virtual printer is set up, you can install the printer driver
and printer description files on your computer from the Integrated Fiery Color Server using
Point and Print.
For more information about setting up virtual printers, see Utilities.
When you install the printer driver using Point and Print, you cannot configure installable
options manually. Installable options are configured automatically.
