. . . Setting up printers for Print Redirection

If you want to print a document on your home computer to a high-quality printer at your office, you need to set up that printer on your home computer.

The printer you set up for Print Redirection must match the printer you’ll be printing to at the other end of the connec- tion. If the destination printer was originally set up using a manufacturer’s installation CD ROM or downloaded driver, use that same installation method for both computers.

CAUTIONUsing the Printer Redirection wizard in LapLink Gold Corporate will not ensure that both computers are using the same printer drivers. For more information about configuring a printer for LapLink Printer Redirection, see technical document #36 at www.laplink.com/support.

Setting up a printer

You can set up a printer during LapLink Setup or from within LapLink after installation. You will probably need your Win- dows CD-ROM or the disk that accompanied your printer.

To set up a printer from within LapLink:

1On the Options menu, click Print Redirection Options.

2Click the Setup button to start the Print Redirection Setup wizard.

3Follow the instructions in the wizard.

Once the printer is set up, you can print to it, and your docu- ment is sent over your LapLink connection. In order to print, LapLink must be running and connected to the computer you want to print to.
