Setting Up Printing

The table below provides an overview of the tasks necessary to set up print servers (Add a Printer) and print clients (Add Access to the Printer). A local printer is one which is physically cabled to the print server; a network printer is physically attached to the network. Adding access to a printer, or adding remote access, is the process of giving print clients (all those machines which are not the server) access to the printer.
