Network Install: Software
TCP/IP (cont.)
Network Client Distribution
If you are installing the software on a network for network
clients, the software must be installed on all clients’
workstations. The Network Installer utility automatically
notifies client users by email when a new printer is added to
the network.
To install and use the Network Installer utility:
Install the Network Installer Utility:
□
In the Menu Installer, click the
Network Software
button.
□
Click the
Administration Tools
button.
□
Click the
Network Installer
button and follow the
on-screen instructions
□
Set up existing server email accounts in Network
Installer.
Install the printer drivers:
□
Install the printer on the network as a shared printer.
The client drivers for the printer are automatically
copied as well.
□
Register the printer in Network Installer.
When the printer has been registered, Network Installer
sends an email to clients that were set up using the Network
Installer utility, informing them that the printer is available
on the network. Each client can install the appropriate driver
as follows:
•
Windows 2000, XP, and NT 4.0
clients can install drivers
by opening the connectme.exe attachment to the email.
•
Windows Me, 98, and 95
clients can install the drivers by
launching the Add Printer Wizard and following the
network administrator’s instructions for locating the
appropriate driver.
