1 Installation A printer driver is an application that manages communication between a printer and your computer. Once installed, the printer driver settings must be configured in the printer Properties and Printing Preferences. Note: In Windows operating systems, you must be logged in with administrator rights to install the printer driver.
Installation Installing in Express Mode on page 1-2 Custom Installation Installing in Custom Mode with a USB Connection on page 1-4 Installing in Custom Mode with a Network Connection on page 1-5 Note: KPrint installs a client port monitor that lets Windows TCP/IP print from any network card connected to a printing system.
Installation If Discovery finds your printer, click the printer name to select it. Select Use host name for port name to use a host name for the Standard TCP/IP port. If the installation wizard still displays the IP address, contact your system administrator.
Installation Printer drivers that ship with Windows operating systems are called minidrivers. The minidriver is available separately for PCL and KPDL and provides basic support for your printer. Minidriver functionality is not documented in this user guide. Installing in Custom Mode with a USB Connection This section describes the custom installation procedure of the driver software in Windows operating systems using a USB connection.

You can also match the memory setting in the driver with the memory installed in your printing system, which lets the driver manage font downloads more efficiently.
Device Settings Device Options Optional devices extend the capabilities of your printing system for source. In a client/server environment, this feature is unavailable to a client logged in as a restricted user. Setting Device Options You can set the printer driver to match the optional devices installed on your printing system.
Device Settings In Windows 7 and Windows Vista, the Auto Configure dialog box opens. Select from Auto configure options: Auto Configure Now Click the button at any time to retrieve the current settings from the printing system. It is recommended to do this when the driver is first installed and when Silent auto configuration is turned off.
