Installing and Conﬁguring the HP CIFS Server

Step 3: Modify the Conﬁguration

Chapter 240

Device settings can not be displayed. The driver for the

specified printer is not installed, only spooler

properties will be displayed. Do you want to install the

driver now?

3. Click “yes” in the error dialog and the printer properties window will

be displayed, with an APW.

4. Select the printer driver e.g. hp LaserJet 5i. You will be asked for the

driver ﬁles. Give the path where the driver ﬁles are located. The

driver ﬁles will be uploaded from the disk, and stored into the

subdirectories under the [print$] share.

Migrating Printing Services From version A.01.07 to A.01.08

The following are some typical reasons for migrating from a HP CIFS

Server, version A.01.07, to version A.01.08:

• If you do not intend to use the new Windows NT/XP/2000 print

driver support feature, nothing should be done. All of the existing

conﬁguration parameters for printer services will continue to work

the same way.

• If you want to take advantage of the new NT/XP/2000 printer driver

support, but do not want to migrate the Windows 9x drivers to the

new setup, then use the existing printers.def ﬁle.

• If you install a Windows 9x driver for a printer on a HP CIFS Server,

the new setup information will take precedence and the three old

parameters (printer driver, printer driver file and printer

driver location) will be ignored.

• If you have a printer installed on a HP CIFS Server version A.01.07

or below, and you migrate to Server version A.01.08, you must reboot

the Windows client in order to make the printer work under version

A.01.08.
