Adding a Printer Though Network Neighborhood in Windows 2000
Windows 2000 can print directly over the network using LPR,
or any other transport. For ease of administration and setup it is suggested to have the
printers configured on a single machine such as a departmental server and then shared to the user
community. Once the printer is configured on the server and shared out, it is a simple 4 step
process for a client W2000 workstation to use the printer
