Setting the Printer for Sharing

Follow the procedure below to improve the efficiency of printer
management by setting up a print server on a network with Windows XP,
Windows 2000 or Windows NT. With a print server set on the network, all
print jobs are managed by the print server. All the printer software can be
installed once onto the representative print server so each computer
connected to the network can install the printer drivers through the network.
