Installing the Printer Driver on the Client PC for Windows XP
Tips for Success
• If another card printer is installed on the PC, see "Driver Co-existence on Windows" for
information on compatibility.
• A PC can have a locally connected (USB) card printer attached, a directly networked
card printer attached, and be connected to a shared printer as a Client PC.
• If you use more than one connection method on a PC, install the locally and/or directly-
