Having confirmed that an efficient backup of the affected part of your printing environment has been created (see figure Selection of the operation to be performed), you continue with the upper choice.

In the opening window, you select the print servers on which one or more printer drivers should be replaced (see figure Selection of the target print server).

Note

Listed Print Servers

In order to have a print server listed in this view several tests have to be passed successfully.

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 steadyPRINT Center has to be registered on the print server as a local administrator.

On the following page (see figure Selection of the printer drivers to be replaced) you now specify which driver should be installed for the respective printers.

Note	Which printers are processed?
	All printers for which a printer driver was selected in the selection box are processed.
