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.

Alternative Method for
LPR Printing
If you wish to print over LPR but do not wish to install Print Services for
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 66 for instructions. LPR is chosen by default with this
method.
Once the printer is installed, follow these instructions to change the
printing protocol:
1. Go to Start | Settings | Printers.
2. Double-click the installed printer.
3. Select Properties from the Printer menu.
4. Click the Ports tab.
5. Click the Configure Port button.
6. Click the LPR radio button and enter the queue name (PR1, PR2...).
7. Click OK to finish.
