Install / Uninstall

 

SP1 (Service Pack 1) Install Specifications

A single executable package—LDSS32_SP1.exe—will update either evaluation or licensed versions of LDSS 3.2. The same package is used to update both client and server software.

 

The install package consists only of files that need to be upgraded for SP1.

 

The service pack will upgrade only components already installed for which an update is available. The service pack cannot be used to add LDSS components to a system.

 

 

SP1 Installation Procedure

This service pack is designed to be installed on top of an existing LDSS 3.2 installation. If anything from 3.2 is installed after the service pack has been applied, the service pack should be applied again after that installation. (For example, a system has Lexmark Document Distributor (3.2 CD1) installed. The service pack is then applied. If, Lexmark Document Portal (3.2 CD3)—or anything else from 3.2—is later installed, the service pack must be reapplied.)

 

All open programs should be closed before installing the service pack.

 

Forms Composer applications will be updated to the language selected for the service pack install.

Troubleshooting

 

A known problem that results from NOT reapplying the service pack after installing a new LDSS component from 3.2 is that the uninstall screen may contain incorrect strings, such as:

   #Components.servicepack#
        #Components.sp1#

 

Upgrading from a pre-release version of LDSS v3.2 is not supported. The released version of LDSS v3.2 is build 838. This build number can be verified on any LDSS server; LDSS client software does not include such a build number. The build number can be obtained by opening the desired server in Server Manager, then selecting "Servers," "Manage" from the top menu. The build number can be found at the end of the version number on the Properties tab.

 

 

 

The installer does not support any version checking.

 

PE fixes or later service packs could cause version conflicts. Lexmark technical support will advise customers with PE fixes whether to install the service pack, and will re-release a PE build based on SP1 if necessary.

 

The service pack itself cannot be uninstalled without uninstalling the entire product.

 

If any of the LDSS services are not running after the service pack is installed, this can be resolved by rebooting.

 

Existing Forms Composer applications will be updated to the language selected for the service pack installation. If Forms Composer is accidentally updated to an undesired language, this can be resolved by running the service pack again and selecting the desired Forms Composer language in the installer. To change the service pack/Forms Composer install language, select "Change Language" at the bottom of the install screen before selecting "Install Lexmark Document Solutions Service Pack."

 

FaxByPrinter action times out when WaitForCompletion = true

 

Fixed a problem where the FaxByPrinter action timed out and failed when the WaitForCompletion property was set to true, regardless of whether or not the fax actually succeeded. A firmware update is also required to resolve this problem for the Lexmark T63X and the Lexmark C750. Without this firmware update, FaxByPrinter actions with WaitForCompletion set to true will not time out, but the job will remain on the server and cannot be deleted without rebooting. The following firmware updates will resolve the problem of the job being "stuck" on the server:

 

Printer

Firmware Level

Lexmark T63X

551.030

Lexmark C750

853.031

New driver web packages should be installed on each client or user PC that is connected to a Lexmark X6170 device. The sections below provide installation details. 

 

 

Server Install

 

When LDSS32_SP1.exe is run, the installer will check to see if a supported LDSS Server (version 3.2 or greater) is installed. The LDSS Server and LDSD are ready to support Lexmark X6170 devices after the Service Pack installation.

 

See the Client Install section for more information on how to enable Lexmark X6170 devices on client systems for LDSD.

 

For technical problems with the Lexmark X6170 device driver install package, contact Lexmark at 1-800-LEXMARK. For technical problems with the Lexmark Document Solutions Suite, contact Lexmark at 1-888-LXKSOLV.
