Step 9: 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 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. More information about each of these network printing methods is on the drivers CD that shipped with your printer. Read the detailed instructions on the drivers CD. Click View Documentation and look for information about network printer installation for your specific Windows environment. If you choose to install without using the instructions on the drivers CD, you need a basic understanding of network printing on TCP/IP networks, installing printer drivers, and the process involved in creating new network ports.
