Point and Print installation for Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003 Use the following information to install a print driver through the Microsoft Point-and-Print function when you do not connect directly to the printer on the network. Point and Print is a Microsoft term that describes a two-step driver installation process. The first step is to install a shared driver on a network print server. The second step is to "point" to the print server from a network client so that the client can use the print driver. This section outlines the procedures for installing print drivers by using Point and Print. If these procedures are not successful, contact Microsoft. Hewlett-Packard provides drivers that are compatible with the Point and Print feature, but this is a function of the MS Windows operating systems, not of HP print drivers. Administrator privileges are necessary to install the print driver on a Windows 2000, Windows XP, or Windows Server 2003 operating system. In a homogenous operating system environment (one in which all of the clients and servers are running in the same operating system), the same print driver version that is vended from the server to the clients in a Point and Print environment also runs and controls the print queue configuration on the server. However, in a mixed operating system environment (one in which servers and clients might run on different operating systems), conflicts can occur when client computers run a version of the print driver that is different from the one on the print server. In an effort to increase operating system stability, Microsoft determined that, starting with Windows 2000 and continuing with all future operating systems, print drivers would run as user-mode processes. Usermode drivers run in a protected part of the operating system, as do all of the normal end-user processes and software programs. A user-mode print driver that functions incorrectly can terminate (or "crash") only the process in which it is running-not the whole operating system. Because access to critical system resources is restricted, overall operating system stability is increased. www.techweb.boi.hp.com Set a default printer This section applies to the Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003 operating systems. 1.

Point and Print installation for Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003
Use the following information to install a print driver through the Microsoft Point-and-Print function when
you do not connect directly to the printer on the network.
Point and Print is a Microsoft term that describes a two-step driver installation process. The first step is
to install a shared driver on a network print server. The second step is to "point" to the print server from
a network client so that the client can use the print driver.
This section outlines the procedures for installing print drivers by using Point and Print. If these
procedures are not successful, contact Microsoft.
Hewlett-Packard provides drivers that are compatible with the Point and Print feature, but this is a
function of the MS Windows operating systems, not of HP print drivers.
Administrator privileges are necessary to install the print driver on a Windows 2000, Windows XP, or
Windows Server 2003 operating system.
In a homogenous operating system environment (one in which all of the clients and servers are running
in the same operating system), the same print driver version that is vended from the server to the clients
in a Point and Print environment also runs and controls the print queue configuration on the server.
However, in a mixed operating system environment (one in which servers and clients might run on
different operating systems), conflicts can occur when client computers run a version of the print driver
that is different from the one on the print server.
In an effort to increase operating system stability, Microsoft determined that, starting with Windows 2000
and continuing with all future operating systems, print drivers would run as
user
-mode processes. User-
mode drivers run in a protected part of the operating system, as do all of the normal end-user processes
and software programs. A user-mode print driver that functions incorrectly can terminate (or “crash”)
only the process in which it is running—not the whole operating system. Because access to critical
system resources is restricted, overall operating system stability is increased.
