Install the Shared Printer on Client Computers
Point and Print
This method is the best use of system resources. The print server handles driver modifications
and print job processing. This lets network clients return to their programs much faster.
If you use the Point and Print method, a subset of driver information is copied from the print
server to the client computer. This is just enough information to send a print job to the printer.

3

Right-click the shared printer name, and then click

or

Wait for the driver information to copy from the print server computer to the client
computer, and for a new printer object to be added to the Printers folder. The time this
takes varies, based on network traffic and other factors.

Peer-to-Peer

job processing.
