To install the printer driver on a client

Once you have connected the printer to the network and installed the printer driver on the
network computer acting as the server, you can share the printer. Individual Windows users,
known as clients, can connect to the printer in these ways:

In the

Printers

folder, double-click the

Add Printer

icon and follow the instructions for a

network printer installation. See

“To install the printer driver using Add Printer”

.

Install the printer software from the Starter CD. When prompted, select

Connected via

the network

, and then select

Client setup for client-server printing

.

On the network, browse to the printer and drag it to your Printers folder.

Add the printer and install the software from the INF file that has been saved to a location
on your network. Ask the network administrator where the INF file is located.

On the Starter CD, the INF files are stored in folders using the following format:
<CD>:\Setup\Drivers\PCL3\<operating system>\<language>.

For example, if your CD drive letter is D:, then D:\Setup\Drivers\PCL3\Win2k_XP\English
would contain the English Windows 2000/XP PCL 3 INF file.
