To confirm that the printer is properly shared:
• Ensure that the printer object in the
Printers
,
Printers and Faxes
, or
Devices and Printers
folder is shared. The
shared icon is shown under the printer icon.
• Browse
Network
or
My Network Places
. Find the host name of the server and the shared name you assigned to the
printer.
Now that the printer is shared, you can install the printer on network clients using the point and print method or the
peer-to-peer method.
NOTE:
If the OS bit editions (32/64 bit edition) differ between a print server and a client computer, you need to manually add the
printer driver for the client computer edition on the server. Otherwise, the printer driver cannot be installed on the client
computer using the point and print or peer-to-peer method. For example, if the print server runs on Windows XP 32-bit edition,
while the client computer runs on Windows 7 64-bit edition, follow the procedures below to additionally install the printer driver
for 64-bit client on the 32-bit server.
