Install printer drivers
To map a network printer, its printer driver must be installed on each PC
that will print to that printer. The printer driver is software that enables your
PC to communicate with that particular kind of printer.
When mapping a printer, the Sharing and Mapping Software automatically
runs the Windows Add Printer Wizard and tries to copy the printer drivers
from the PC attached to the printer. If this doesn’t work, you may need to
install the printer drivers manually using the printer software.
Some printers come with custom installation software. These printers do
not use the Windows Add Printer Wizard to install and configure the
printer. To map a printer that uses custom installation software, first
manually install the printer software on each PC that will use the printer.
Refer to the printer documentation for installation procedures.
