IMPORTANT INFO:
Please note that you cannot run a printer
installation program from the
Console
. To install a printer on your
5big Backup Server, you must have the driver file(s) that are shipped
with the printer. LaCie highly recommends that you copy the printer
driver file(s) to a shared folder on your 5big Backup Server (i.e.
Shared Folders\Software\Printer Drivers). When running the Win-
dows Printer Setup Wizard, browse to the directory that contains the
printer driver file(s) (i.e. Shared Folders\Software\Printer Drivers) to
complete the installation.
