If you want Windows XP or 2000 to automatically download printer drivers for computers that are running different versions of Windows, click Additional Drivers and select the environment and the operating systems for the other computers. Click OK, then insert the printer software CD into the CD-ROM drive.


4. Click OK, or click Close if you installed additional drivers.

Next, add the printer to each computer that will access it through the network.

Note:
Your printer must be set up as a shared resource on the computer to which it is directly connected before you can access it from another computer.


1. For Windows XP, click Start > Printers and Faxes.
   
   For Windows 2000, click Start > Settings > Printers.

5. On the next screen, click Next.



6. Double-click the icon of the computer that is directly connected to the printer. Then, click the icon for the appropriate printer.





7. Click Next and follow the on-screen instructions.


Note:
Depending on the operating system and the configuration of the computer to which the printer is connected, the Add Printer Wizard may prompt you to install the printer driver from the printer software CD-ROM. In this case, click the Have Disk button and follow the on-screen instructions.
