17.3.3 Storing and Using Printer Drivers

As explained earlier in this chapter, to use a shared printer connected to the device, a
driver for the printer must be installed on the LAN computer from which the print job is to be
sent. You can use the device file server to store printer drivers.
The drivers should be uploaded from a Windows computer and stored in the system
storage area that you have created on one of the disk partitions. The printer can then be
installed on other LAN computers using the driver stored on the device.

To upload the driver files to the device:
1. From Window's Start menu, click Run, and then type "cmd" to open a command shell.
2. At the prompt, type net use to view the list of shares and their status.
3. Type net use /del \\mp264\share-B to delete the specific network mapping entry.
Alternatively, you can use net use /del * to delete all network mapping entries.
4. Type net use * \\openrg\print$ [Admin's password] [/user:admin]. This ensures
that you are logged into the print server using the Admin user and have the
permissions to upload files.
5. Browse to \\mp264 (use a Windows Explorer window if you are using a browser other
than Internet Explorer). Should a Windows login dialog box appear, enter your Web
username and password. The following window appears, displaying the disk and
printer shares available on the device.
6. Click Printers and Faxes.
7. Right-click the printer icon and then select Properties.
8. If your operating system does not already have the driver, you will be asked if you
want to install it now. Click No.
9. Select the Advanced tab, and then click New driver; the 'Add Printer Driver Wizard
on the device starts. You are prompted to select a printer driver from a list. If
unavailable, you can either browse to a location on your computer where you have
stored the driver, or click Have Disk and insert the CD containing the driver (supplied
with your printer).
10. Click OK; the driver is uploaded to the device's system storage directory (e.g.
"\\mp264\A").
