Setting Up Print Server - Canon MF8580Cdw User Manual

Setting Up Print Server

With a print server, you can reduce the load on the computer that you print from. The print server also enables each computer to install
MF Drivers over the network, which saves you the trouble of installing the drivers on each computer by using the CD-ROM. To set up a
computer on the network as a print server, configure the settings for sharing the printer.
IMPORTANT
To perform the following procedure, log on to your computer with an administrator account.
You may be unable to install drivers over the network depending on the operating system and the bit architecture (32-bit or
64-bit) of the print server and client computers.
When implementing a print server in a domain environment, consult your Network Administrator.
NOTE
Using Department ID Management with a print server
Canon Driver Information Assist Service must be added during the printer driver installation.
