a Click the Start button, Control Panel, Hardware and Sound, and then Printers.
b Click Add a printer.
c Choose Add a network, wireless or Bluetooth printer.
d Click The printer that I want isn’t listed.
e Choose Select a shared printer by name and then enter the following in the URL field:
http://printer’s IP address:631/ipp (where “printer’s IP address” is the printer’s IP address or the node
name.)
Note
If you have edited the hosts file on your computer or are using a Domain Name System (DNS), you can
also enter the DNS name of the print server. As the print server supports TCP/IP and NetBIOS names,
you can also enter the NetBIOS name of the print server. The NetBIOS name can be seen in the Network
Configuration List. To learn how to print the Network Configuration List, see Printing the Network
Configuration List on page 87. The NetBIOS name assigned is the first 15 characters of the node name
and by default it will appear as “BRNxxxxxxxxxxxx” for a wired network or “BRWxxxxxxxxxxxx” for a
wireless network.
f When you click Next, Windows Vista
®
will make a connection with the URL that you specified.
If the printer driver has already been installed:
1 You will see the printer selection screen in the Add Printer Wizard. Click OK.
If the appropriate printer driver is already installed on your computer, Windows Vista
®
will
automatically use that driver. In this case, you will simply be asked if you wish to make the driver
the default printer, after which the Driver installation wizard will complete. You are now ready to
print.
2 Go to k.
If the printer driver has NOT been installed:
One of the benefits of the IPP printing protocol is that it establishes the model name of the printer
when you communicate with it. After successful communication you will see the model name of the
printer automatically. This means that you do not need to inform Windows Vista
®
about the type of
printer driver to be used.
