Q1. Can more than one computer use the same settings for the printer driver?
A1. Yes. The same settings can be configured using Driver Packaging Utility.
The Driver Packaging Utility can be used to create an install package with various settings registered for a printer driver.
First, the administrator uses the Driver Packaging Utility to create an install package for the printer driver. Next, simply execute that install package on a computer to apply identical settings to, and the printer driver configured with the same settings is installed.
