Abstract
Adding and sharing printers is a common function of Windows 2000 System Administrators. Similar to sharing data folders, sharing printers has a place in both the server room and the workgroup. Windows 2000 offers several enhancements to the print server functions in Windows NT, including support for connection to printers via the Internet. In this chapter, one learns the way to connect a local print device by creating a new printer. One also learns the way in which one can connect to a printer that is shared on the network. Unlike many network print environments, it is much easier to connect to a network printer than to create a new local printer. If the local printer is Plug and Play compliant and supported directly by Windows 2000, creating a local printer is very easy. If not, one must know the manufacturer and model of one's printer , and perhaps provide driver software from the manufacturer. When connecting to a shared network printer, all that is really needed is the name of the machine on which the printer is running, and the printer's name. One should always print a test page to make sure that the printer is working correctly.
