the Add Printer Wizard. Click Next.

the Add Printer Wizard. Click Next.
2. Select the appropriate radio button: Local Printer. Click Next.
3. Click the Create a new port radio button and select LPR Port from the list.
Click Next.
4. Enter the name of the server (or its IP address) in the field Name and address
of server providing lpr (Example: AXIS100086) and enter the port you want
to use in the field Name of printer or print queue on that server (Example:
USB1). Click OK.
End the wizard in the usual manner: select Manufacturer and Printer,
keep/replace driver, name the printer, make it default or not, share it or not
and finally decide whether you want to print a test page.

print server has already been installed by the administrator on another
computer. Follow the instructions in the Add Printer Wizard to complete
the installation.

LPR Printing

Unix you can do this by changing the printing protocol after having
installed the printer using the Standard TCP/IP method, see “Adding
Printers in Windows 2000 / XP / 2003 using Windows Add Printer
Wizard” on page 28 for instructions.
