    Exclamation Installing printer drivers only - OS X Server

    I've already installed OSX Server a million times before but this particular Xserve I decided NOT to instal the printer drivers...

    Now I NEED the drivers for many various printer types (so don't want to do them one by one by downloading from HP/Xerox etc).

    1. tried booting from instal DVD but cannot instal just the printer drivers...

    2. also tried browsing through the DVD to find the .mpkg for additional printers...

    Am I missing something or for some clever reason do I have to re-instal and reconfigure the whole damn server just to put the printer drivers on?

    To be honest, I'm feeling pretty let-down by OSX Server recently...

    David.

    Grab Pacifist - this should let you install the printer drivers .mpkg from the Install DVD/s.
