Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003/Server 2008/Vista/7

In the following procedures, items displayed on the screens for Windows Vista are used. Depending on your environment, the items you see on the screen may differ.

Installing a New Driver

1.
The procedure for checking whether the IP address of the computer to install the driver in is allowed in the [Firewall Settings] of the machine is described in steps 12 and 13 of "TCP/IPv4 Settings," and steps 9 and 10 of "TCP/IPv6 Settings."
IMPORTANT
If communication via the relevant IP address is not permitted in [Firewall Settings], you cannot install the driver.
After you have installed the driver, if communication via the IP address of the computer you have installed it on is not permitted in [Firewall Settings], you cannot print or send a fax from that computer.
2.
Install the driver.
Install the driver according to the following procedures indicated in the manual for each driver:
If you want to use the UFR II/PCL/PS printer driver
See the procedure for dynamic installation in the Printer Driver Installation Guide.
If you want to use the fax driver
See the procedure for dynamic installation in the Fax Driver Installation Guide.
NOTE
The print application will be LPD and the print queue will be set to <LP> if the driver has been installed according to the above procedures. This machine enables you to specify print queues other than <LP>. You can also use Raw as the print application. For instructions on how to change the settings, see "Changing the Port after Installing the Driver."
