To confirm that the printer is properly shared:
• Ensure that the printer object in the Printers, Printers and Faxes or Devices and Printers
folder is shared. The shared icon is shown under the printer icon.
• Browse Network or My Network Places. Find the host name of the server and the shared name
you assigned to the printer.
Now that the printer is shared, you can install the printer on network clients using the peer-to-peer
method.
Peer-to-Peer
If you use the peer-to-peer method, the print driver is fully installed on each client computer. Network
clients retain control of driver modifications. The client computer handles the print job processing.
