Installing Printer Software on Each Client Computer
Make sure you have installed printer software on the host and shared the printer
before you install printer software on the client.
When you are installing a locally shared printer on the client computers, you have
two options:
•
Point and Print Installation (See page 11): This option is only available on
Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows NT 4.0 clients, but is quicker to set up
than the Add Printer Installation.
•
Add Printer Installation (See page 12): This option is the most compatible with
different operating systems, but not as quick to set up as the Point and Print
Installation.

Note:
If your host is a Windows NT 4.0 server, and you installed printer
software for other operating systems on your host (see the note on
page 9), you can use the Point and Print installation to install printer
software directly from the host computer on client computers running
Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows NT 4.0.
