End the wizard in the usual manner: select Manufacturer and Printer,
keep/replace driver, name the printer, make it default or not, share it or not
and finally decide whether you want to print a test page.
Select Network printer instead of Local Printer in Step 2 above if your print
server has already been installed by the administrator on another computer.
Follow the instructions in the Add Printer Wizard to complete the installation.
• Make sure that the Automatically detect and install my Plug and Play printer checkbox
is not checked
• Press F1 to access the Windows online help system if you need additional help when
installing a printer/print server using this method.
If you wish to print over LPR but do not wish to install Print Services for Unix
you can do this by changing the printing protocol after having installed the
printer using the Standard TCP/IP method, see "Adding Printers in Windows
2000/ Windows XP/Windows Server 2003 and Windows NT over TCP/IP" on page
25 for instructions.
Once the printer is installed, follow these instructions to change the printing
protocol:
1. Go to Start | Settings | Printers.
2. Double-click the installed printer.
3. Select Properties from the Printer menu.
