Install drivers for network printing
After you have assigned and verified the TCP/IP
settings, you are ready to install the printer drivers on
each network computer.
Windows
In Windows environments, network printers can be
configured for direct printing or shared printing. Both
network printing methods require the installation of a
printer driver and the creation of a network printer port.
Supported printer drivers
•
Windows system printer driver
•
Custom printer driver
System drivers are built into Windows operating
systems. Custom drivers are available on the drivers
CD.
Supported network printer ports
•
Microsoft IP port—Windows NT 4.0,
Windows 2000, Windows XP, and
Windows Server 2003
•
Printer network ports—Windows 95/98/Me,
Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, Windows XP,
and Windows Server 2003
For basic printer functionality, you can install a system
printer driver and use a system network printer port,
such as an LPR or a Standard TCP/IP port. The
system printer driver and port let you maintain a
consistent user interface for use with all the printers on
your network. However, using a custom printer driver
and network port provides enhanced functionality,
such as printer status alerts.
Follow the steps for your printing configuration and
operating system to configure your network printer:
