Install new version of RPCS printer driver with the same step as "(1): Installing RPCS printer driver at the first time." See "Installation steps for Windows 2000/XP/Server2003/Vista/Server2008 drivers"
|
| * | With RPCS printer driver, the drivers of different versions can't be used together. |
| * | If "Print Settings" screen doesn't look normal after installation, delete the driver with the procedure of(2) and reinstall the driver. |
| * | Do not extract CD-ROM before the installation is finished. Or else, system error might occur. |
| * | SmartDeviceMonitor for Client cannot be run on Windows x64. Therefore, bi-directional network communication is only available with the 32-bit driver. |
| * |
The CD-ROM installer causes the Spooler service to temporarily stop. We do not recommend using the CD-ROM installer on a member server of a Microsoft cluster environment because other services that rely on the Spooler might also stop causing a failover to occur. Instead, the Add Printer Wizard should be used. If this is done, the Spooler service will not stop. |
| * |
Existing RPCS drivers Print Processor settings will return to default(RPCSPRN) if a new RPCS driver is installed from CD-ROM. |
Please refer Help screen for the contents and details of each on-screen setup items of the printer driver.
