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.
