Preparing software clients for use with LDD solutions requires a slightly different process than setup and solution deployment for printers.
After installing other LDD system components, do the following:
Upload a solution to LDD. For more information, see Uploading solutions to the LDD system.
If necessary, install client software licenses on the LDD system. For more information, see Adding licenses to an existing server.
Create a software client group to contain software clients to which a particular solution should be available.
Add IP addresses to the software client group for the computers where you want to install the client software and solution.
Add the solution to the new software client group.
| Note: Only solutions developed for use with client software (instead of, or in addition to, printers) may be made available to software client groups. |
Install client software on each of the client computers. For more information, see Installing client software.
| Note: Servers must be set online to install the client software successfully. |
Run Windows Update to make sure the latest updates for the .NET framework are installed.
When using Lexmark Document Server Ports, add print queues assigned to the appropriate Lexmark Document Server Port on each client computer or print server.
| Note: Do not configure an LDD port on a print server to use a profile or script that prompts. |
Test all print queues that use Lexmark Document Server Ports. For more information, see Using LDD print queues.
Use test jobs to complete setup of the Microsoft Windows application software Select'N'Send from each client. For more information, see Using the GUI of the Microsoft Windows application software Select'N'Send.
