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
-
From a Windows NT 4.0 client, click the right-mouse button on
Network Neighborhood. Select
Find Computer.
-
Type the name of the Windows NT 3.51 server. Press
Enter.
-
Double-click the Windows NT 3.51 server icon.
-
Double-click the Windows NT 3.51 server's
Printers
folder.
-
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>.
-
Select the port where the printer is connected.
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
-
In the
Add Printer Wizard
dialog box, click
Have Disk
to add a new Xerox Office driver.
-
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.
-
Select the printer model and click
Next.
Enter the printer's name and set up sharing
-
Type the printer's name; this can be any name you want. Click
Next.
-
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
-
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.
-
When prompted for the Windows NT 3.51 CD-ROM, insert it into your computer's CD-ROM drive and click
OK.
-
Type the path name to the driver.
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.
