Note for using shared printers
in Windows NT 4.0
If you are using a shared printer in Windows NT 4.0, it is
important that you follow the instructions below carefully,
especially “Accessing the printer through a network,” which
describes how to install the printer driver on NT 4.0 clients. If you
do not follow these instructions, you may not be able to properly
install or use the printer driver.
First, you need to set up the printer as a shared printer on the
computer to which the printer is connected. Then, you must
specify the network path to the printer from each computer that
will use it, and install the printer software on those computers.
