Connect to Local and Network Print Devices

Windows XP Professional allows users on the network to access a printer attached to

a remote system in several different ways: standard file and printer sharing, Internet

Printing Protocol (IPP), a Standard TCP/IP Port, and the Line Printer Remote (LPR) pro-

tocol. Controlling access to a shared printer is very different from controlling the secu-

rity applied to file share. The primary rights available are Print, Manage Printers, and

Manage Documents. By default, Everyone is allowed to print and manage their own

documents, and only Power Users and Administrators are granted access to manage all

documents and printers.

Connecting to remote printers is handled through the Add Printer Wizard—the same

interface used to set up a directly connected printer. To connect to a network printer,

users have the option of selecting the printer by browsing the network, typing a Uni-

versal Naming Convention (UNC) name in the form \\server\printer, or typing a URL

in the form https://traloihay.net. Local printers, networked LPR print-

ers, and networked Standard TCP/IP printers are all configured as if they are connected

directly to the computer.
