Preparing for TCP/IP Printing
To create a TCP/IP remote printer, Microsoft TCP/IP Printing Support must be installed. If
it is already installed, proceed to Adding a TCP/IP Remote Printer. Otherwise, the
procedure to install TCP/IP printing support is as follows.

appears, click the Add Software button to display the Add Network Software dialog box.

and then click the Continue button.
3. In the Windows NT TCP/IP Installation Options dialog box, check the TCP/IP Network
Printing Support option.

path to the Windows NT distribution files. Provide the appropriate location and click
the Continue button. All necessary files will be copied to your hard disk.

NT TCP/IP Installation Options dialog box, you must complete all the required TCP/IP
configuration procedures manually.

click the Close button and then restart your computer for the changes to take effect.
