Peer-to-peer

If you use the peer-to-peer method, the printer driver is fully installed on each client computer. Network clients retain control of driver modifications. The client computer handles the print job processing.

1Click Start Settings Printers.

2Click Add Printer to launch the Add Printer wizard.

3Click Network Print Server.

4Select the network printer from the Shared printers list. If the printer is not listed, type the path of the printer in the text box.

For example: \\<server host name>\<shared printer name>

The server host name is the name of the server computer that identifies it to the network. The shared printer name is the name assigned during the server installation process.

5Click OK.

If this is a new printer, you may be prompted to install a printer driver. If no system driver is available, then you will need to provide a path to available drivers.

6Select whether you want this printer to be the default printer for the client, and then click Finish.

7Print a test page to verify printer installation: a Click Start Settings Printers.

b Select the printer you just created. c Click File Properties.

d From the General tab, click Print Test Page.

When a test page prints successfully, printer installation is complete.
