170 Network Administrator’s Guide — Setting up Windows Print Server
Setting up the Clients
Each client of a Windows print server is already using a network protocol to communicate with
the server. Each client can print to this equipment if the printer has been shared by a Windows
print server. In that case the client does not have to use the same network protocol to connect to
the Windows print server as the server uses to communicate with the equipment.
To set up printing on client computers, connect to the print server and select the shared printer.
Right-click the printer and select [Open]. When prompted, click [Yes] to have Windows set up
the printer.
After clients have selected the printer, they can choose it from the Print Setup, Page Setup, or
Print dialog box of their application. Clients can change printing options for their own job, but
printer properties are grayed and not available for changing. When a client prints a document,
the job is transmitted to the Windows print server, and from there to this equipment.
The job is listed in the Print Manager on the client computer, and the administrator can track it in
the Print Manager on the Windows print server.
