Once the printer has been set up for sharing, the printer driver can be
installed from the server system to the appropriate client systems.

To install the printer driver on a client system:

On the client system, on the Windows desktop, click Start, point to

Settings, and then click Printers (in Windows XP, click Start, and then
click Printers and Faxes).

2.

In the Printers window, double-click Add Printer (in Windows XP, in

the Printers and Faxes window, click Add a printer).

Follow the on-screen instructions.

Install the printer driver as a network printer, based on the name
assigned to the shared printer.

You cannot install the printer driver on a client system that has
MultiPASS software installed on it (version 3.2x or earlier).
