Preparing software clients for use with LDD solutions requires a slightly different process than the 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 must be available. For more information, see Creating a software client group.
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 the client software on each of the client computers. For more information, see Installing client software.
| Note: To install the client software successfully, set servers online. |
Run Windows Update.
When using Lexmark Document Server Printer Ports, add print queues that are assigned to the appropriate client software on each client computer or print server.
| Note: LDD printer port prompting is not supported on print servers. If it is configured on a print server, then the spooler stops responding and may crash when print jobs start going into the print server. Prompting profiles must be used only on client computers. |
Test all print queues that use Lexmark Document Server Printer Ports. For more information, see Printing documents by using LDD print queues.
Use test jobs to complete the setup of the Microsoft Windows application software Select'N'Send from each client. For more information, see Configuring the GUI of the Microsoft Windows application software Select'N'Send.
