6Click OK.

Note: If you are missing files, you may be prompted to provide the operating system CD of the server.

7Check the following to make sure the printer was successfully shared.

–The printer object icon in the printers folder now has a shared indicator. For example, in Windows NT 4.0, a hand appears under the printer icon.

–Browse Network Neighborhood. Find the host name of the server and look for the shared name you assigned to the printer.

The printer is now shared and ready to be installed on network clients.

Install a shared printer on network clients

Select one of the following ways to install a shared printer on network clients:

Setting up clients (point and print)

•A sub-set of driver information is copied from the server to the client computer. This is just enough information to send a print job to the printer.

•Best use of system resources. Server handles driver modifications and the print job processing. This lets network clients return to applications much faster.

Setting up clients (peer-to-peer)

•The printer driver is fully installed on the client computer. Network clients retain control of driver modifications.

•Client computer handles the print job processing.

Setting up clients (point and print)

1On the Windows desktop of the client computer, double-click Network Neighborhood.

2Locate the host name of the server computer, and then double-click the host name.

3Right-click the shared printer name, and then click Install.

Wait a few minutes for the driver information to be copied from the server computer to the client computer, and for a new printer object to be added to the Printers folder. The time this takes varies based on network traffic and other factors.

4Close Network Neighborhood.

5Print a test page to verify printer installation. a Click Start Settings Printers.

b Click File Properties.

c On the General tab, click Print Test Page.
