    Installing drivers for network printing
    gCheck 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 
    assigned to the printer.
    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 applications much faster.
    With this method, a subset of driver information is copied from the server to the client computer. This is just enough 
    information to send a print job to the printer.
    1Double-click Network Neighborhood on the Windows desktop of the client computer.
    2Locate the host name of the server computer, and double-click the host name.
    3Right-click the shared printer name, and click Install.
    Wait a few minutes for the driver information to be copied from the server computer to the client computer and for 
    a new printer object to be added to the Printers folder. The time this takes varies based on network traffic and 
    other factors.
    4Close Network Neighborhood.
    5Print a test page to verify printer installation.
    Using the peer-to-peer method
    With this method, the printer driver is fully installed on each client computer. Network clients retain control of driver 
    modifications. The client computer handles the print job processing.
    1Click StartÆ SettingsÆ Printers.
    2Click Add Printer to launch the Add Printer wizard.
    3Click Next.
    4Click Network Printer, and click Next.
    5Enter the printer name or URL (if on the Internet or an intranet), and click Next.
    If the printer name or URL is unknown, leave the text box blank, and click Next.
    6Select the network printer from the Shared printers list. If the printer is not listed, enter the path of the printer in the 
    text box. 
    The path looks similar to the following:
    \\\
    Note:If this is a new printer, prompts may occur to install a printer driver. If no system driver is available, 
    provide a path to available drivers.
    The server host name is the name of the server computer that identifies it to the network. The shared printer name 
    is the name assigned during the server installation process.
    7Click OK.
    8Select whether this printer will be the default printer for the client, and click Finish.
    9Print a test page to verify printer installation.
