Installing The Driver When The Operating Systems Of The Server And Client Use A Different Number Of Bits (With Windows Server 2008) - Epson AcuLaser C3900N Reference Manual

Installing the Driver When the Operating Systems of the Server and Client Use
a Different Number of Bits (With Windows Server 2008)
When Windows Server 2008 is running on the print server or when the operating systems running on
the print server and client computer use a different number of bits, the additional driver may not be
installed correctly on the print server.
This can be corrected by specifying the setup information file (ntprint.inf) for the operating system
with the different number of bits while installing the additional driver on the print server.
The following server and client operating systems can be used together.
Server
Windows Server 2008 (32 bits)
Windows Server 2008 (64 bits)/
Windows Server 2008 R2 (64 bits)
Windows 7/Vista (32 bits)
Windows 7/Vista (64 bits)
The procedure for specifying the setup information file for a computer other than the print server and
installing the additional driver is described below.
Note:
From the print server, map the system drive of the client computer as a network drive. The drive to be
mapped must first be specified as a shared drive.
Installing the Additional Driver
As an example, the following procedure describes the operations performed when Windows Server
2008 (32 bits) is running on the print server and Windows 7/Vista (64 bits) is running on the client
computer.
1. Specify the client computer (64 bits) drive installed with the operating system (normally, drive C)
as a shared drive.
Note:
This setting is available for only PS driver.
Client Computer
Windows 7/Vista (64 bits)
Windows 7/Vista (32 bits)
Windows Server 2008 (64 bits)/
Windows Server 2008 R2 (64 bits)
Windows Server 2008 (32 bits)
