Note
Because of the way that Microsoft
®
networks work, the print server may take several minutes to appear in
the network neighborhood. You will also find that the print server may take several minutes to disappear
from the network neighborhood even if the printer is switched off. This is a feature of Microsoft
®
workgroup
and domain based networks.

screen, then enter your workgroup/domain name into the Domain Name text box. Make sure you submit the
changes (click Submit).
