you can use the Add Printer Wizard to add or share a printer on your network.
Whether you want to add a local printer (a printer connected directly to one computer,)
share an LPR printer (a printer connected to a print server) or share a network printer
(a printer connected to your network through a Gateway/Router,) use the Add Printer
Wizard. Please follow the directions below:
First, make sure that you have run the Network Setup Wizard on all of the computers
on your network.
On the following pages, we will show you these 3 ways to use the Add Printer Wizard:
1. Adding a local printer
