CHAPTER 2 TCP/IP PRINTING

Windows 2000 Printing
(Printer Driver not yet installed)
By default, Windows 2000 systems install with all the necessary software required
for you to be able to print. This chapter describes the two most commonly used
configurations, Standard TCP/IP Port printing and IPP (Internet Printing Protocol). If
you have already installed the printer driver, jump to the printer driver already
installed section.
