When Installing the Canon Driver Information Assist Service

Return to Overview

In order to set up the printer configuration automatically or to use the Job Accounting feature, it is necessary to register the Canon Driver Information Assist Service as a cluster object in each node of the cluster server. To do this, after installing the Canon Driver Information Assist Service in each node, add it to the same group as the print cluster resources (Printer Spooler, IP Address, Network Name, and Physical Disk) in the Cluster Administrator.


Remark
  • To print from a computer with the LASER CLASS 810, an optional network printer kit is required.
