Administrator Installation
Samsung provides convenient installation methods useful for
administrators. Administrators can remotely install printer drivers to multiple
client computers or use command window to install drivers at once.
Administrators can also make their own installation package for distribution.
Check the system requirements before installing the machine’s driver (see
"System requirements" on page 42).
Remote installation
Remote Installation is provided under the Administrator Installation menu.
It is provided for administrators to remotely install printer drivers and
application software to multiple client computers. To use remote installation,
you must configure at least one group. Multiple client computers can be
added to a group that has the same installation configuration. Installation
configuration includes device drivers or application software to be installed,
ports used for printing, default printers, printer’s names, sharing information,
etc.
For remote installation, all client computers must be joined to a
domain or a workgroup and file sharing must be enabled to be
accessed by remote installer software on both server and client sides.
If you cannot access the client computers, you might need to disable
the Firewall option on the client computers.
