1.The print server has to be displayed in the tree (See Authorizations in the steadyPRINT Center)
2.The print spooler of the print server has to be active (See Warming Up Time of Print Spooler)
3.The user logged in to the Center has to be registered on the print server as a local administrator.

 

Then, will ask for those print servers to which the printer driver is to be transferred (see figure Selection of the target print server).
