Checking the Shared Printer 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. • From a network client, browse Network or My Network Places. Find the host name of the server and the shared name you assigned to the printer. After you have checked that the printer is shared, use methods such as Windows® Point and Print to use the shared printer from a network client.

For example, if the print server runs on Windows Vista® 32-bit edition, while the client computer runs on Windows® 7 64-bit edition, follow the procedures below to additionally install the printer driver for 64-bit client on the 32-bit server. a Click Additional Drivers on the screen for sharing printers.
