INSTALLING PRINTER DRIVERS 8
INSTALLING PRINTER DRIVERS
This chapter describes the procedures for installing printer drivers on a computer using a
supported version of Windows. For the Windows versions supported, see “Terminology
and conventions” on page 5. Installing printer drivers and printer description files is the
first step in setting up the CX3641MFP as a PostScript printer.
Install printer drivers as follows:
• From the CX3641MFP through Point and Print using SMB printing.
•FromtheEFI Utilities(windows) CD.
If a CX3641MFP printer driver is already installed, you must uninstall it before you install
a new one (see “Uninstalling printer drivers” on page 15).
Installing printer drivers by Point and Print
SMB printing (also known as Windows or WINS printing) allows you to install PostScript
printer drivers and printer description files on your computer from the CX3641MFP using
Point and Print, and print to a particular connection (Print queue, Hold queue, or Direct
connection).
Each connection (Print queue, Hold queue, or Direct connection) requires a separate
installation. Repeat the procedure for each connection.
When you install the printer driver using Point and Print, you cannot configure installable
options manually. The installed options are displayed in the printer driver when you
enable Two-Way Communication. For more information, see Configuring Installable
Options.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Ask your CX3641MFP administrator to do the following in Setup on the CX3641MFP:
• Assign the CX3641MFP a valid IP address.
Ask your administrator for the IP address or DNS name. You will need it in the following
procedure.
• Configure the CX3641MFP for SMB printing.
NOTE: SMB printing is referred to as Windows Printing in Setup and on the
Configuration page.
For more information, see Configuration and Setup or Configure Help.
