Bypassing Point and Print
Installing printers on each client computer is required in order for clients to be able to print using the appliance.
With the Microsoft Point and Print technology, when a printer is added to a client an associated driver is
automatically installed on the client also, which helps make printer installation easy. However, the driver
associated with a given printer can only be managed at an administrator level, so changes to that driver such as
enabling duplex or changing the driver itself will be reflected on all Windows NT, 2K, and XP clients using that
printer; only one driver can be associated with a given printer.
In order to bypass this functionality, clients can install a local printer that uses a local port to print through the
appliance.
Note: This requires the client to install a driver locally. Because the installed printer is viewed by the computer
as a local printer, it will not receive job status feedback from the appliance. For example, if the printer on the
appliance has been paused, the client printer will not reflect this and it may look like a job was printed when it
was not.
To install a local printer with local driver that prints through the PSA follow the following steps.
For Windows 2000 and XP Clients:
1. Start the Add Printer wizard (in Windows 2000 or XP).
2. Click Next.
3. On the "Local or Network Printer" screen, select "Local printer" and then click Next.
Note: On this screen, make sure "Automatically detect and install any Plug and Play printer" is not
selected.
4. On the "Select the Printer Port" screen, select "Create a new port" and then select "Local Port" as the
Type. Click Next.
5. On the "Port Name" screen, enter the UNC name for the printer in the following format and click OK:
\\<print_appliance_name>\<printer_name> (where "print_appliance_name" is the name of the print
appliance and "printer_name" is the name of the printer)
