Print Server Settings
If Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003 is on your network, the
following procedure enables you to set up a print server for more
efficient management of network printers. Once a print server is
set up, print jobs can be managed by the print server. Also, by
setting up an alternate driver for the print server, printer drivers
can be installed in each computer via the network.
