Type your computer??™s name into the Computer Name box and click Search.
Double-click your computer in the Search window results panel. A window displaying the shared
printers and folders from your computer appears (see Figure 26-4).
FIGURE 26-4
You can search for your computer??™s printers.
After your shared printer appears in the window, configure a pointer to that printer by opening
(double-clicking) the printer icon. A message tells you that you must set up the printer before you
can use it. Click Yes to proceed to configure the printer for local use. The Add Printer Wizard
appears. Answer the questions that ask you how you intend to use the printer, and add the appropriate
drivers. When you are done, the printer appears in your printer window.
Another way to configure an SMB printer from a Windows XP operating system is to go to Start???
Printers and Faxes. In the Printers and Faxes window that appears, click the Add a Printer icon in
the upper-left portion of the window, and then select Network Printer from the first window. From
there you can browse and/or configure your SMB printer.
Summary
Providing networked printing services is an essential efficiency on today??™s business network. With
the use of a few network-attached devices, you can focus your printer spending on a few high-quality
devices that multiple users can share instead of numerous lower-cost devices.
