  1. Installing a Network Printer Network Printers

  2. Network Printers Network printers work much like any other printer except the data flow is through a network. This means the printer must have a Network Interface, and be able to connect to network media.

  3. Network Printers As with many printers, special software may need to be installed before physically connecting the printer to the network. The add printer wizard will give you several options for installing your printer.

  4. Network Printers One option is to select the network printer button. This then gives you three directions to move.

  5. Network Printers You can browse for the printer, insert the server\printer name, or insert the URL: for the new printer. The method used will be based upon network protocols determined by the system administrator.

  6. Network Printers Another method is to choose a Local printer instead of a networked one, then give it a specific Local Port name. Again, the policy of the network administrator will determine which method you use.

  7. Network Printers By selecting a Standard TCP/IP port, you will be directed to enter the network address of the printer.

  8. Network Printers The Port name will be automatically entered as you enter the IP address. Do not change this name.

  9. Network Printers After completing the printer port wizard, you will then select the printer and finish the installation of the necessary printer drivers.

  10. Network Printers All network printers have a NIC, or network interface card attached. You may need to install the IP address for the printer either from a printer menu panel or via software.

  11. Network Printers Even networks using DHCP for IP configuration of host computers will use static IP addresses for printers and servers to ensure everyone can find them on a routine basis.

  12. Network Printers If you are using an HP network printer, then their Network Printer Wizard may be useful in your installation.

  13. Network Printers If the wizard does not find the printer, you may install by specifying an IP address, or the MAC hardware address.
