How do I install a print server? Can you be more detailed?

I'll try to be as detailed as possible.

First of all, you should share this printer on the computer connected to it, run the network installation wizard, and there is a step where you can choose to turn off or turn on file and printer sharing, select Open here. Everything else is basically the next step, remember to give this printer a name, the kind that is easy to remember, you will need it later, restart this computer.

Then, open the control panel on another machine, click Printers & Fax, click Add Printer on the left, click Next, Network Printer or Printer connected to another computer, browse printers, find the printer you shared, and the rest is basically the next step. After you finish it, take a look at the test page, and remember to check if there is any shared one in the printer list before printing. Finished.

The landlord said about the print server? A PC device?

If that's the case, I'll talk about it!

You'll have to set your print server to an IP address via the administrator program on your installation disk. It depends on what kind of IP address your LAN is, it is best to specify the IP, assign an IP address to the print server, and then add the print server to each machine.

Introduction: Teach you how to install a network print server step by step. Of course, sometimes when the printer fails to print, first check whether the "status" is "ready", and then debug according to the situation, it may be "paused" or "offline".

Here's what I've introduced to you, and I hope it can help you!

Select Start to open Printers & Faxes.

Add a printer.

Select Local printers connected to this computer, don't select Auto-detect.

Add the IP address of the printer.

Select "Browse" and find the installed one'The printer's drive path and continuously open to find the driver.

Select the default printer and whether to print the test page to complete the printer installation.

Check if the printer is installed, and the status of the installed printer is: Ready.

Configure the network protocol.

In order for printer sharing to be smooth, we must install the File and Printer Sharing Protocol on both the host and client computers.

Right-click on the "Network Neighbors" on the desktop, select the "Properties" command, enter the "Network Connections" folder, right-click on the "Local Connections" icon, select the "Properties" command, if you don't find "Microsoft Network File and Printer Sharing" in the "This connection uses the following items" list in the "General" tab, you need to click the "Install" button, select "Services" in the pop-up dialog box, and then click "Add", and select in the "Select Network Services" windowFile & Printer Sharing, and finally click the OK button to finish.

Now that we've done all the work on the host, it's time to configure the client that needs to share the printer. Let's assume that the client is also a Windows XP operating system. Every computer on the network that wants to use a shared printer must have a print driver installed.

Step 1: Click Start Setup Printers & Faxes, start the Add Printer Wizard, and select the Network Printer option.

Step 2: There are several ways to add a network printer on the Specify Printer page. If you don't know the specific path of the network printer, you can select the "Browse Printers" option to find the printers shared in the same workgroup on the LAN, the computer that has installed the printer, and then select the printer and click the "OK" button; If you already know the network path of the printer, you can use the Common Naming Convention (UNC) format to access the network resource to enter the network path of the shared printer, such as "James Compaqij" (James is the username of the host), and finally click "Next".

Step 3: At this time, the system will ask you to enter the printer name again, after entering, click the "Next" button, and then press the "Finish" button, if the host has set a shared password, here it will ask for the password. Finally, we can see that the icon for the shared printer has appeared in the "Printers and Faxes" folder of the client, and our network printer has been installed.

Use the printer to remotely print to turn on the printer's web service settings.

First of all, you install the driver of the print server on your computer (the installation method of each brand of driver is different, but it will not be difficult), and then connect your network server to your computer, (the network print server has its own IP address) and connect the network server to your printer, the connection here refers to the use of RJ45 (8-core network cable), to connect. Then set up your web server and you're good to go.

1.First of all, you need to install a network printer driver, which is the print server application, and the installation process will automatically search for printers on the network. Before that, you should set the IP address of the print server to be on the same network segment as your computer.

2.After installing the print server software, you need to add a printer on the host computer, and select Local printer connected to the secondary computer as the print type, do not automatically detect it.

3.Once the following ports are used, go down and select the network port of your print server

4.Install the driver of the printer, note that this is the driver of the printer itself, not the driver of the print server, after installing the printing driver, it is the next step of operation.

Note a few points: you need 2 drivers, the driver of the print server, and you can find the print server through the host on the network. Printer driver, only the printer driver can be used to print, the difference is to share the installation, sharing only needs to install the driver of the printer province.

Let me tell you briefly, the installation of the printer server is to connect the printer to the computer as a server, the driver is installed on this computer, and then the printer is shared and set up, which is a printer server. In addition, installing and adding a printer is not the same as installing a printer server, and installing and adding a printer is a client, and it is connected to the printer server (the computer shared by the printer) through the network. This should make it clear that one server and the other are clients.

Hopefully, thank you!
