106 Printer Connection and Software Installation
Installing Print Drivers
Now that the printer is set for shared printing, you need to install print drivers for the shared printer
using either of the two Windows features.
• Using the Point and Print Feature
The Point and Print feature is a Windows technology that automatically downloads and installs a print
driver necessary for using the shared printer on the network.
For Windows XP, Windows XP 64-bit Edition, Windows Server 2003, and
Windows Server 2003 x64 Edition
1 On the Windows desktop of the client computer, double-click My Network Places.
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 Connect.
Wait until the driver is copied from the server to the client computer and a new printer object is
added to the Printers and Faxes folder. It may take some time depending on the amount of
network traffic.
Close My Network Places.
4 Print a test page to verify installation.
a Click start (Start for Windows Server 2003/Windows Server 2003 x64 Edition) → Printers
and Faxes.
b Select the printer you have installed.
c Click File → Properties.
d On the General tab, click Print Test Page.
