Installing the printer software on client computers
After the printer drivers have been installed on the computer that is acting as the print server, the
printing functionality can be shared. Individual Windows users who want to use the network printer
must install the software on their computers (clients).
A client computer can connect to the printer in the following ways:
● In the Printers folder, double-click the Add Printer icon and follow the instructions for a network
installation. (See
Installing the printer driver using Add Printer .)
● 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 on your network.
On the Starter CD, the INF files are stored in folders that use the following format: <CD drive>:
\Drivers\<operating system>\<language>.
For example, if your CD drive letter is D, then D:\Drivers\Win2k_XP\English would contain the
English INF file for Windows 2000, Windows Server 2003, and Windows XP.
