Setting Up Print Server - Canon MF229dw User Manual

Setting Up Print Server

With a print server, you can reduce the load on the computer that you print from. The print server also enables each computer to install
MF Drivers over the network, which saves you the trouble of installing the drivers on each computer by using the DVD-ROM. To set up a
computer on the network as a print server, configure the settings for sharing the printer.
To perform the following procedure, log on to your computer with an administrator account.
You may be unable to install drivers over the network depending on the operating system and the bit architecture (32-bit or
64-bit) of the print server and client computers.
When implementing a print server in a domain environment, consult your Network Administrator.
To obtain device information when using a print server
Canon Driver Information Assist Service must be added during the printer driver installation. MF Driver Installation Guide
