Print Server Settings

If Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003/Vista is on your network, the
following procedure enables you to set up a print server for more
efficient management of network printers. Once a print server is set
up, print jobs can be managed by the print server. Also, by setting
up an alternate driver for the print server, printer drivers can be
installed in each computer via the network.

Open the printer properties dialog box.

For Windows Vista, click [Start] on the Windows task bar →
[Control Panel] → [Hardware and Sound] → [Printers].
For Windows 2000, click [Start] on the Windows task bar →
[Settings] → [Printers].
For Windows XP Professional/Server 2003, click [start] on the

for entering the location of the file containing the printer driver.
Follow the instructions in these windows.
