Setting up Clients of a Shared Printer
This explains the procedure for installing a driver that supports shared printers 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.
To enable device information on the print server to be retrieved when creating a shared printer, enable the following function in the driver on the print server side.
[Device Settings] sheet > [Details] > [Retrieve Device Information When Creating Shared Printer]
When starting the computer, log on as a user with administrator privileges.
Procedures
