Adding network printers to NT4 server

The easiest way to do this would be to use the installation CD that came with the printers. Simply run the setup from the CD and it will walk you through the process of installing the port and printer on the server, will automatically detect the printer if you give it either the static IP address you assigned or the MAC address of the printer's NIC, and will install the appropriate drivers. The most recent HP install CD's I've used also give you the option of installing additional drivers forworkstations for Win9x and Win2K (not XP I don't think as yet, but Win2K drivers will probably work for XP), so you can do everything at once from the same CD. Once you have the printers installed and working on the server, you will need to go to each workstation that will be using the printers and install locally. If you have done your job and installed all of the appropriate drivers on the server, all you need do is select the printer to install and the drivers (if needed) will be automatically downloaded to the workstation. Hope this helps!
