Peer-to-Peer

If you use the peer-to-peer method, the printer driver is fully installed on each client computer. Network clients retain
control of driver modifications. The client computer handles the print job processing.
1. Click Start ® Settings ® Printers.
2. Click Add Printer to launch the Add Printer wizard.
3. Click Network Print Server.
4. Select the network printer from the Shared printers list. If the printer is not listed, type in the path of the printer
in the text box.
For example: \\<server host name>\<shared printer name>
The server host name is the name of the server computer that identifies it to the network. The shared printer name
is the name assigned during the server installation process.
5. Click OK.
If this is a new printer, you may be prompted to install a printer driver. If no system driver is available, then you
will need to provide a path to available drivers.
6. Select whether you want this printer to be the default printer for the client, and then click Finish.
