5 How do I know the printer
driver I installed on the
appliance was installed on
the client? Or how can I tell
whether the updated driver I
installed on the appliance
was successfully installed?
An updated driver will be copied to the client if the driver has the
same name and a newer version or date. You can verify this by
printing a test page from the client. The test page will list all the
files associated with the driver along with version information.
6 I am trying to use the
Properties page in network
Neighborhood to configure
the appliance, but the
appliance seems to ignore
some of my settings.
The appliance uses the printer configuration page on the Printer
Properties window (which is displayed after right-clicking on a
printer and then selecting Properties) for driver configuration
changes and recognizes some other settings, such as security
settings. However, the appliance does not recognize many of the
settings if they are changed using these driver management tools.
