Installing the Printer Driver

Network types

There are two types of networks, a peer to peer network where you print directly to the printer without going through a server, and a client-server network where you print through a server. Follow the appropriate instructions below for your operating system and your network type to install the printer driver.

Client-server network:Installing the printer driver on the server

To use the printer on a client-server network, the printer driver must first be installed on the server (this must be done before installing the printer driver on client computers). Follow the appropriate procedure for your server's operating system.

Windows 2000 Server / Windows Server 2003

Note: Printing is not possible on a client-server network that uses Windows Server 2003 Web Edition as there is no printer sharing function. (Peer to peer printing is possible.)

1 Windows 2000 Server: Click the Windows Start button, point to Settings,

and then click on Printers.

Windows Server 2003: Click the Windows Start button and then click on Printers and Faxes.

2 Double-click Add Printer in the Printers window to run the Add Printer Wizard and then click Next.

3 Select Local printer attached to this computer (Local Printer in Windows 2000). Make sure that “Automatically detect and install my Plug and Play

printer” is not selected and click Next.
