Using as the Windows Network Printer

XP/Vista, Windows Server 2003, or Windows NT 4.0 print server. Do not begin the following procedure
before the client is set up and configured correctly.
To use the print server, install the printer driver by selecting “Network printer server”, and then select the

Windows NT 4.0, you must have an account that has Manage Printers permission. For this, log on as
an Administrators or Power Users group member.
