Adding the Windows NT 4.0 driver on a Windows NT 3.51 server

NOTE
For proper installation, use the latest Windows NT 3.51 drivers and Windows NT 4.0 drivers, available from the Xerox Office web site:
www.office.xerox.com/support/software.html

The following procedure describes how to set up the Windows NT 3.51 server to automatically load a Windows NT 4.0 driver on a Windows NT 4.0 client.


NOTE
You must have Administrator access on the Windows NT 3.51 server.

Add the printer

  1. From a Windows NT 4.0 client, click the right-mouse button on Network Neighborhood. Select Find Computer.
  2. Type the name of the Windows NT 3.51 server. Press Enter.
  3. Double-click the Windows NT 3.51 server icon.
  4. Double-click the Windows NT 3.51 server's Printers folder.
  5. In the Windows NT 3.51 server's Printers folder, double-click Add Printer. (If you do not have an Add Printer icon, then you are not logged on with an account that has Administrator access on the Windows NT 3.51 server.) The first Add Printer Wizard dialog box should say Remote print server <3.51 server name>.
  6. Select the port where the printer is connected.

  7. NOTE
    You cannot create a port on the Windows 3.51 server from the Windows 4.0 client; create the port on the Windows 3.51 server. After the port is created, you can select that port from the Windows 4.0 client.

Install the driver

  1. In the Add Printer Wizard dialog box, click Have Disk to add a new Xerox Office driver.
  2. Type the path name to the driver files. This can be A:\ if the files are on a diskette. If these files were downloaded from an on-line service, type the path name where they were saved. Click OK.
  3. Select the printer model and click Next.

Enter the printer's name and set up sharing

  1. Type the printer's name; this can be any name you want. Click Next.
  2. If this printer is to be shared on the network, click Shared and highlight all applicable platforms that may be connecting to this server ( Windows NT 4.0 x86 should be one). If desired, enter a Share Name for the printer.

Windows NT creates the printer

  1. If you want Windows NT to print a test page after installing the printer driver, click Yes (recommended). If you do not want the Windows NT test page, click No. When finished, click Finish.
  2. When prompted for the Windows NT 3.51 CD-ROM, insert it into your computer's CD-ROM drive and click OK.
  3. Type the path name to the driver.

  4. NOTE
    For proper installation, you must use the latest Windows NT 3.51 drivers and Windows NT 4.0 drivers, which are available from the Xerox Office web site:
    www.office.xerox.com/support/software.html

The printer should now exist on the Windows NT 3.51 server and have Windows NT 4.0 drivers available. Now any Windows 4.0 client can use that shared printer, and the driver is installed automatically.
