IMPORTANT INFO: Please note that you cannot run a printer
installation program from the Console. To install a printer on your
5big Backup Server, you must have the driver file(s) that are shipped
with the printer. LaCie highly recommends that you copy the printer
driver file(s) to a shared folder on your 5big Backup Server (i.e.
Shared Folders\Software\Printer Drivers). When running the Win-

printer driver file(s) (i.e. Shared Folders\Software\Printer Drivers) to
complete the installation.
