This chapter provides guidelines on how to print over the network
from various Microsoft Windows platforms. There are numerous
ways of printing from Windows and the exact set-up will vary
depending upon your environment. There are also numerous
versions of Windows, which can be configured as either a client,
server or both.
Although there are many variants of Windows, the principles of
network printing are the same. Microsoft provides on-line help
with all of their operating systems and this is a good reference
point for the exact details of each configuration option within
Windows.
NOTE:
Not all utilities, features or protocols are supported by every
operating system. Please check with your User's Guide and
support website for latest information.
