Point and print
This method is usually the best use of system resources. The server handles driver
modifications and print job processing. This lets network clients return to their programs
much faster.
If you use the point and print method, a subset of driver information is copied from the
server to the client computer. This is just enough information to send a print job to the
printer.
1 On the Windows desktop of the client computer, double-click Network
Neighborhood.
2 Locate the host name of the server computer, and then double-click the host name.
3 Right-click the shared printer name, and then click Install.
Wait for the driver information to copy from the server computer to the client
computer, and for a new printer object to be added to the Printers folder. The time this
takes varies, based on network traffic and other factors.
4 Close Network Neighborhood.
5 Print a test page to verify print installation.
6 Click Start

7 Select the printer you just created.
