[. . . ] 4-6 iv Chapter 1 CentreWare Printer Drivers for Microsoft Windows CentreWare is software that brings the power of your Xerox systems to your desktop. CentreWare provides you with total access, viewing, and control of any Xerox system from any connected desktop. CentreWare's interactive drivers make printing from the desktop simple to perform and easy to understand. With this guide, administrators can install and configure CentreWare printer drivers and general users can increase their productivity using the Xerox system's printing options. What's in this chapter: What's Included in this Release? [. . . ] When one node fails, printing continues using the drivers that are present on a surviving node. Should that node lack the appropriate drivers, consequences range from a lack of access to advanced driver features to a complete inability to print. To ensure consistent printer availability in a cluster, use the Add Printer Driver Wizard (see Add Printer Driver Wizard on page 2-13) to install the same printer drivers on all nodes in a cluster before adding the printer to the cluster itself. NOTE: Xerox recommends this practice even on the Windows Server 2003 cluster management products that have an "Automatic Quorum Feature. " This is to ensure that damaged or corrupt driver files are not passed from one node to another should failure occur. Citrix MetaFrame Citrix MetaFrame provides centralized application management and distribution to an enterprise. Applications that are published to users from a Citrix server have a single point of installation and maintenance, simplifying administration. Desktop hosting capabilities offer access to current operating platforms and applications to users running a wide range of hardware and operating systems, while providing administrators increased control. A Citrix server can be configured to "auto-create" a printer or printers when a Windows client logs in. This procedure makes the client's Windows printers available within a Citrix session. If the appropriate drivers do not reside on the Citrix server, the Citrix server substitutes a "universal" driver. The user can still print, but many of the features associated with CentreWare printer drivers, such as accounting or booklet creation, are unavailable. To prevent this, install the CentreWare drivers (See Add Printer Driver Wizard on page 2-13) on a Citrix server (or on all members of a Citrix server farm) before clients that use local printers based on these drivers log in. 2-12 Installing Windows Printer Drivers Add Printer Driver Wizard This wizard loads the requested drivers on a Windows print server but does not create a queue or printer object. NOTE: For more information about installing the printer driver with the Xerox Printer Driver Installation Utility, see Direct Installation on page 2-4 or use the Microsoft Add Printer Wizard. 6 7 8 9 On the desktop, select Start > Settings > Printers (Windows 2000) or Start > Printers and Faxes (Windows XP / Server 2003 / Vista) and right-click the printer. Select the Configuration tab and choose the settings to be used as the default settings. Select the Device Settings tab and choose the settings to be used as the default settings. 10 Click OK to save the configuration and device settings as the default settings. 11 To modify the default document settings, continue with the following steps. For 2000 / XP / Server 2003 / Vista drivers, select the General tab and click Printing Preferences OR repeat step 6 above and choose Printing Preferences. The Printing Preferences dialog opens. 12 Select the document options you wish to have as default settings from the Printing Preferences dialog (2000 / XP / Server 2003 / Vista). 13 As soon as you make a change on the Printing Preferences dialog, in the Saved Settings drop-down menu at the bottom of the dialog window, an asterisk (*) appears beside User Defaults. Click OK to save any settings you have made as default settings. 14 Click OK to close the Printing Preferences dialog and the Properties dialog in 2000 / XP / Server 2003 / Vista. 15 Locate the driver filename. dyc file created on the workstation in the Windows/System32/Spool/Drivers/W32x86/3 directory (for 2000 / XP / Server 2003 / Vista). 16 Copy and paste the new driver filename. dyc file into the driver installation directory on the server to overwrite the old driver filename. dyc file with the new driver default settings. Any drivers installed from this directory will now contain the default settings you selected. 2-16 Installing Windows Printer Drivers Configuring Installable Options at the Workstation You may want to configure installable options directly at a workstation. NOTE: You may need administrator rights on the workstation to perform these steps. Configuring Installable Options Manually Complete the following steps to configure the installable options on the printer driver. To configure the Installable Options manually: 1 2 3 At the desktop, click Start > Settings > Printers (Windows 2000) or Start > Printers and Faxes > (Windows XP / Server 2003 / Vista). [. . . ] To use the symbol, set the font selection to Xerox Euro and type the keystroke that corresponds to the type style you are using. Xerox Euro Fonts are provided on the CentreWare Printer Drivers CD within the . . . \English\Drivers\Fonts\Windows folder. If the fonts on your printer are not updated to include the Euro, a box will be printed instead of the Euro symbol. A workaround for this problem is to send Euro fonts to the printer as bitmapped images. [. . . ]
