A system and method for selective installation of a network document processing device. Data representing available networked document processing devices is first communicated to a network, whereupon a visual indication of one of the document processing devices is displayed on a thin client interface. The thin client interface then receives, from an associated user, a selection of one of the available document processing devices. The thin client device then communicates this selection data to a storage, which has stored various device drivers, each associated with at least one of the available document processing devices. The device driver corresponding to the selection data is then retrieved from the storage and sent to the thin client device, which is resident on a workstation. The driver is then installed and the thin client device is able to request document processing operations by the selected document processing device.
