Use shared printing if your organization needs to centrally manage network printers. To set up this
type of printing, you must install the printer on a server and set it up to be shared with network clients.
Note: If your organization has no need to centrally manage network printers from a single
location, see direct IP printing.
Install a shared printer on a Windows NT 4.0/2000 server
