How do I add Intel (or other platforms) printer drivers to an Alpha system so my clients won have to load them individually?

A. This does not allow you to run x86 printer drivers on an Alpha — it allows x86 clients to load their drivers from an Alpha print server. That depends on if you’re running version 3.51 or 3.5 of NT (note that version 4.0 allows you to load drivers for any platform on the print server). To summarize, you need to select “Other…” for a driver, then select the appropriate Intel based driver. In detail (Intel example): 3.51: • Create a new printer to use the Intel driver (Printer – Create Printer) • Supply a new Printer Name:, select the appropriate Print To: destination, provide a Description:, then select Other… for a Driver: • Change the directory to :\i386 from the Install Driver dialog (substitute the drive letter for your ) • Pick the appropriate printer from the Select Driver dialog • Continue setting up the printer Setup…, Details…, and Settings…
