Once SE is installed on the server, clients may install the SE printer using the Add Printer Wizard on the client computer. Terminal Server clients will automatically be able to use the SE printer since they will inherit the SE printer from the server itself.
The command line can also be used for silent installation on workstations instead of MSI:
FinePrint 11: rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /in /n\\SERVER\fineprt11
pdfFactory 8: rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /in /n\\SERVER\pdffact8
Command line uninstallation:
FinePrint 11: rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /dn /n\\SERVER\fineprt11
pdfFactory 8: rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /dn /n\\SERVER\pdffact8
Note: Starting with Windows Vista, admin privileges are required in order to install or update printer drivers. A non-administrative user will be prompted to provide administrative credentials when connecting to a shared FinePrint or pdfFactory printer, or whenever a new minor version of FinePrint or pdfFactory is installed on the server.
It is possible to configure the client PC so that non-admin users can install and update printer drivers. This can be done in a group policy. This procedure must be performed on each client PC, by a user with administrative privileges.
