Setting up Clients of a Shared Device
This explains the procedure for installing a driver that supports shared devices in order to set up, as clients, computers on the same network as the print server.
Prerequisites
If the types of operating systems on the print server and clients differ, install the drivers for operating systems supported by the clients on the print server.
When starting the computer, log on as a user with administrator privileges.
NOTEMatch the driver language with the print server and the client.
Procedures
1.
Display [Network] in Windows Explorer.
2.
Select and double-click the computer (print server) you have set for print sharing.
3.
Double-click the icon of the device for installation.
4.
Click [Yes] in the displayed message.
5.
Set according to the instructions in the wizard.
6.
Restart the computer after installation is complete.
NOTEMake sure that the drivers installed in the clients are always in the newest state to match updates to the driver installed in the print server. If the driver version in the clients is older than that in the print server, the server driver settings will not be reflected in the clients.
