Step 1: Install a custom printer driver

1Insert the drivers CD.

If the CD does not auto launch, click Start Æ Run, and then type D:\Setup.exe in the Run dialog box.

2Click Install Software.

3Click Printer and Software.

4Click Agree to accept the license agreement.

5Select Suggested, and then click Next.

6Select Local Attached, and then click Next.

7Follow the instructions on your screen to complete installing the drivers.

8Print a test page to verify printer installation (see “How to print a test page” on page 94).

Step 2: Share the printer on the network

1Click Start Æ Settings Æ Printers.

2Select the printer you just created.

3Click File Æ Sharing.

4Check the Shared check box, and then enter a name in the Shared Name text box.

5In the Alternate Drivers section, select the operating systems of all the network clients that will print to the printer.

6Click OK.

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

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

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

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

Step 3: Install the printer driver (or subset) on network clients

Using the point and print method

Note: This method is usually the best use of system resources. The server handles driver modifications and the print job processing. This lets network clients return to programs much faster.
