Network types
There are two types of networks, a peer to peer network where you print
directly to the printer without going through a server, and a client-server
network where you print through a server. Follow the appropriate instructions
below for your operating system and your network type to install the printer
driver.
Client-server network:
Installing the printer driver on the server
To use the printer on a client-server network, the printer driver must first be
installed on the server (this must be done before installing the printer driver on
client computers). Follow the appropriate procedure for your server's
operating system.
Windows 2000 Server / Windows Server 2003
Note:
Printing is not possible on a client-server network that uses Windows
Server 2003 Web Edition as there is no printer sharing function. (Peer to peer
printing is possible.)
