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.

Part 1: Installing printer drivers and TCP/IP network support

1Launch the drivers CD. If you still have the CD running, click Back to return to the first screen.

2Click Printer Software.

3Click the icon to install the version of software on the CD.

4Agree to the license agreement.

5Select Custom Install, and then click Next.

6When asked where you want the software installed, click Local Computer.

7When the list of software components is offered, select all the options you want to install.You need to at least select the following:

Printer Drivers (to obtain a custom driver for your printer)

Network Support (TCP/IP)

8When the list of printers is offered, select the model of the printer you want to install, and then click Add.

9When the printer appears in the Selected Printers list, click Next.

10On the Drivers and Bi-Di support tabs, modify any settings you want. On the Bi-Di support tab, remove the check mark from the status window if you do not want this function.

Note: The status window opens up with every print job you send and gives you real-time job status information and sends you alerts if there are problems printing.

11On the Network Support tab, select TCP/IP.

Note: If a shaded check mark is beside an option, support for that environment is already installed and will be updated with this installation.

12Click Finish Installation. When prompted for a reboot, answer Yes. Exit the CD if necessary.
