Lab 6-3 Installing a Network Printer to Share

1. Do this on your Windows XP. You are going to install a printer connected directly to the network onto your computer and set it up as a printer share.
2. Create a new printer. Even though it’s across the room, you’re going to select “Local printer attached to this computer” but you are going to deselect “Automatically detect plug and play”.
3. Click next.
4. Click “Create a new port.”
5. Select “Standard TCP/IP Port”
6. Click Next. Click Next. You’re going to a new wizard.
7. Where it says Printer Name or IP Address type 192.168.1.171. Click next.
8. A window will come up telling you that you have created a port. If it does NOT come up right away, make sure you typed in the right IP address. It goes out and finds the printer and it should find it immediately.
9. Click finish. This takes you back to your installation thingy.
10. It is a Brother HL-5250DN Series. (The drivers will actually already be on your computer because you’ve been printing to this printer already. If they weren’t you’d provide a disk.)
11. Tell it to keep existing driver.
12. Give it a name like “Happy Printer”.
13. Set it as the default printer.
14. Share the printer. Give it your name.
15. Identify your location (computer 13 by Winnie poster)
16. Print a test page. Finish.
17. Look in your printers. There it is!
18. Go online and find if you can get the drivers for Windows 98 and install those drivers like you did in 6-3.
