Adding a Locally Connected Printer
If Windows fails to auto-detect the printer it may be added manually from Print Management by right clicking on the print server to which the deice is attached and selecting ''Add Printer...''. On the initial screen select the ''Add new printer using an existing port''and choose the port to which the printer is connected from the drop down list. Once selected, click ''Next'' to install a printer driver. if one is already installed, select it from the drop down next to the ''use an existing printer driver on the computer''. Alternatively, select ''Install a new printer driver'' and either select the printer make and model from the list, or use the ''Have Disk'' to install the manufacturer supplied driver. Click ''Next'' to proceed to the ''Printer Name and Sharing'' screen. Choose whether the printer is to be shared and, if so, by what name. Proceed to the summary screen, review the information and complete the installation.
