ENWW Configuring the printer (Windows) 43
To install the printing software on client computers
After the printer drivers have been installed on the computer that is acting as the print server,
the printing functionality can be shared. Individual Windows users who want to use the
network printer must install the software on their computers (clients).
A client computer can connect to the printer in the following ways:
z In the Printers folder, double-click the Add Printer icon and follow the instructions for a
network installation. (See To install the printer driver using Add Printer.)
z On the network, browse to the printer and drag it to your Printers folder.
z Add the printer and install the software from the INF file on your network.
On the Starter CD, the INF files are stored in folders that use the following format:
<CD drive>:\Setup\Drivers\<driver>\<operating system>\<language>.
For example, if your CD drive letter is D, then D:\Setup\Drivers\PCL6\Win2k_XP\English
would contain the English PCL 6 INF file for Windows 2000 and Windows XP.
