How to Configure Client Computers So Users Can Print
After you add and share a printer, you need to set up client computers so that users can
print. Although the tasks to set up client computers vary depending on which operat-
ing systems are running on the client computers, all client computers require installa-
tion of a printer driver. The following points summarize the installation of printer
drivers according to the computer’s operating system:
■Windows XP Professional automatically downloads the printer drivers for client
computers running Windows 2000, Windows NT versions 4.0 and earlier, Win-
dows ME, Windows 95, or Windows 98.
■Client computers running other Microsoft operating systems require installation of
printer drivers.
■Client computers running non-Microsoft operating systems require installation of
printer drivers. For clients using LPR, you must install Print Services For UNIX.
To Set Up Client Computers Running Windows 2000, Windows NT, Windows Me,
Windows 95, or Windows 98
Users of client computers running Windows XP Professional, Windows XP Home Edi-
tion, Windows 2000, Windows NT, Windows Me, Windows 98, and Windows 95 only
need to connect to the shared printer. The client computer automatically downloads
the appropriate printer driver, as long as there is a copy of it on the print server.
If your client computer is running Windows XP Professional and you want to connect
to the shared printer, start the Add Printer Wizard on the client computer. On the Local
Or Network Printer page (see Figure 11-2), select A Network Printer, Or A Printer
Attached To Another Computer, and then click Next. The Specify A Printer page
appears, as shown in Figure 11-5.
