Distribute Printer Drivers

The printer driver distribution function enables the administrator to post files such as a printer driver or user's guide to a configured Web page for driver download and enables the user to download and easily install the driver.

Use the driver distribution function to distribute the following files:

  • Printer driver packaged with Printer Driver Packager NX/Ridoc Ez Installer NX. For details, refer to the user's guide for Printer Driver Packager NX/Ridoc Ez Installer NX.

  • Other files (PDF files, third-party drivers, and other file types)

You cannot upload the driver package to the Core Server via a proxy server.
