Installing PrintView
You must have System Administrator privileges to install PrintView.
If you are installing under Windows NT4, please read “Windows NT4 Installation ONLY” below.
Standard Installation
• Insert the PrintView CD-ROM.
• If AutoPlay is not activated, or setup does not start automatically: Click Start, then Run, and
then Browse. Browse to the CD-ROM drive letter, then double-click PrintView_Setup.exe.
• Follow the on-screen instructions.
• Read all installation notes on the installation CD-ROM and in the Readme Information dialog
box.
PrintView does not need to be on the boot drive; however some components are installed in the
system’s registry.
The installation process is now complete. A folder named PrintView is on the target hard drive and
shortcuts are in the Start menu.
Windows NT4 Installation ONLY
Active Directory services
PrintView makes extensive use of Microsoft’s Active Directory technology. Windows NT4 systems do
not provide these services by default. In order for PrintView to run Active Directory services on a
Windows NT4 legacy system the following additional component is required:
• Active Directory Client Support

To install Active Directory support for Window NT4 legacy systems, locate and run the installer named
DSClient.exe on the PrintView CD-ROM. Follow the on-screen instructions.

Uninstalling PrintView
The installation process places a folder named “PrintView” on the target hard drive. As part of the
installation, an Uninstall program is provided as a short cut in the Start menu to remove all
components from the server, including changes to the system’s registry. We recommend that you use
this unintstall program is you want to remove PrintView.
Quick Set-up
Basic configuration for a new PrintView installation
The following section explains how to get PrintView up and running quickly at the basic level. To tap
into the most powerful features, you’ll need to do some additional configuration. PrintView was
designed for maximum flexibility and scalability for company systems administrators. We suggest that
you work through this section to set up PrintView and test configurations for the most effective use.
After getting a feel for the core functionality, expand its usefulness by using the more advanced
features explained in the online User Guide.
Note For Windows NT 4 Users
Currently PrintView only supports color detection and logging with Windows 95/98/ME clients.
Limited support is available for Windows NT clients (i.e., MS Windows NT workstation v4.x) if one of
the following conditions is met:
1. The workstation is configured to “Always Spool Raw Data Type” (use the following instructions to
change the NT default configuration):
• In the Printers folder, select the printer whose properties you want to change.
• On the File menu, click Properties.
• Click PrintProcessor.
• Click Always Spool RAW Datatype.
2. The workstation prints to the server using LPR. We recommend usnig method #1, because using
LPR bypasses PrintView.
