Recommended Steps in this specific order:
- On the Primary and Secondary servers, Download, install and configure the appropriate Windows Postscript Print Driver for the specific Brand/Model of the Print and Windows server version. Note: Prinergy is not compatible with PCL.
- Configure the Print Driver & the printer sharename. For example "HP_LJ_M806" for a HP laserjet M806 laser printer. Do not use spaces in the sharename as it will create broken URL paths.
- Control Panel > Devices and Printers
- Right click on HP LaserJet M806 and select Printer Properties
- A dialog box for "HP LaserJet M806 Properties" will pop up.
- On the Sharing tab > click on button "Share this printer" and type in the share name: HP_LJ_M806.
- Configure the printer settings (paper size, paper tray, orientation, 1 or 2 sided, etc.) which need to be changed in 3 different places (do not leave any as auto detect):
- Right click on printer > Printer Properties > General tab > Preferences
- Right click on printer > Printer Properties > Advanced tab > Printing Defaults
- Right click on printer > Printing Preferences
- Print a test page from the Print Driver to ensure connectivity from the driver to the printer.
- Start > Settings > Printers
- Right click on HP LaserJet M806 and select Properties
- A dialog box for " HP LaserJet M806 Properties" will pop up.
- On the General tab > click on button "Print Test Page".
- If "Print Test Page" fails, it's a Windows Print Driver & HP printer problem. Contact your IT department or HP for support with your HP LaserJet M806 in Windows server version.
- Print a test page from Adobe Acrobat Reader to ensure connectivity from Windows to the print driver.
- Create a Loose Page Proof Process Template with Output to: PS3 and the Device tab > Device Path to point to the new \\PRINERGYSERVER_HOSTNAME\HP_LJ_M806share.

- Create & print from an Imposition Proof Process Template.
