Using Active Directory™ with Windows 2000/XP Server

The Windows 2000/XP print service works closely with Active Directory, the Windows 2000/XP directory ser- vice. to simplify working with printers for both network administrators and users. OkiLAN 6000 Series print servers support Automatic Object Recognition in this environment.

When you install an Oki printer with a Network Printer Server using the Add Printer wizard, click the Sharing tab and make sure Sharing and List in the Directory are selected. The printer is then published—that is, its existence and attributes are made known on the net- work. Users can easily print to a published printer or search for a printer with a particular set of features.
