adding a printer
« on: February 15, 2006, 02:32:20 AM »
hello!

on a win2k3 box, im trying to add a printer network shared by a win2k box.

what i want to achieve is to manage, share (in behalf of the actual box the printer is physically connected to) and use the printer via internet printing.

i click on the add printer, on the wizard, i select "local printer attached to this computer" with "automaticall detect and install.." cleared. select LPT1 port. select the printer manufacturer (i.e. epson) and the driver (lq-2180). assigned a printer share name. then select test page.

on the printer queue, it lists a document ready for printing, but after a while an "error-printing" alert comes out.

but if i browse for a shared pritner, selected the printer i was trying to add earlier, i can print just fine.

am i doing the right steps?

tips anyone?

thanks!
