Installing the Printer Driver on the Client PC for Windows XP

Tips for Success

If another card printer is installed on the PC, see "Driver Co-existence on Windows" for information on compatibility.

A PC can have a locally connected (USB) card printer attached, a directly networked card printer attached, and be connected to a shared printer as a Client PC.

If you use more than one connection method on a PC, install the locally and/or directly- networked printer(s), and then follow the steps in this section to install the shared printer last. The shared printer must have a different name from the other printers.

See Windows help for “printer name” for rules about names for printers, including shared printers.

If you update the printer driver on the Host PC, you need to remove the driver from the Client PC and install it again. See "Removing a Printer from a Windows PC" for more information.

Follow the steps in this section and then restart Windows before printing from the Client PC.

1Make sure that the printer and driver on the Host PC are working properly before beginning this task.

2Start Windows at the Client PC, logging in as an administrator, and log onto the network.

3Use Windows Explorer, Network Neighborhood, My Network Places, or My Computer to locate the Host PC on the network.

4When you locate the Host PC, log into it using the user name and password defined on the Host PC. Keep the window open during printer driver installation.
