Point And Print - Dell 5330dn - Workgroup Laser Printer B/W User Manual

To check that the printer was successfully shared:
Make sure the printer object in the Printers folder shows it is shared. For example, in Windows 2000, a hand is
shown underneath the printer icon.
Browse My Network Places or Network Neighborhood. Find the host name of the server, and look for 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.
Install the Shared Printer on Client Computers

Point and Print

This method is the best use of system resources. The print server handles driver modifications and print job processing.
This lets network clients return to their programs much faster.
If you use the Point and Print method, a subset of driver information is copied from the print server to the client
computer. This is just enough information to send a print job to the printer.
1. On the Windows desktop of the client computer, double-click My Network Places or Network Neighborhood.
2. Double-click the host name of the print server computer.
3. Right-click the shared printer name and click Install or Connect.
Wait for the driver information to copy from the print server computer to the client computer and for a new printer object
to be added to the Printers folder. The time this takes varies based on network traffic and other factors.
4. Close My Network Places or Network Neighborhood.
5. Print a test page to verify print installation.
When a test page prints successfully, printer installation is complete.
