Windows Creating ports and installing drivers Note: Using a custom printer driver and a custom network port provides enhanced functionality, such as printer status alerts. In Windows environments, network printers can be configured for direct printing or shared printing. • Direct printing means the printer is attached directly to the network using an available LAN connection or open port on a hub. In this type of network printing, printer drivers are typically installed on each network computer. • A shared printer is connected locally to one of the computers on the network using a local printer cable such as USB. The printer is installed on the network computer attached to the printer. During the driver installation, the printer is set up to be "shared" so that other network computers are allowed to print to it.

Click View Documentation and look for information about network printer installation for your specific Windows environment.
