3. Make sure that Local Printer attached to this Computer is selected and that the
Automatically detect and install my Plug and Play printer check box is cleared, click
Next.
4. In the next window, select a port from the menu.
The port you need is in the section of ports labeled TS###, where ### is a number between
000-009, 033-044. The appropriate port depends on your host name and the printer you want to
install. Example: with a host name of ZTAHENAKOS and a serial printer, select the port with
(ZTAHENAKOS: COM1). For a parallel printer, you would select ZTAHENAKOS: LPT1. The
TS### is assigned by the Server, so it will not be the same every time.
5. Select the manufacturer and driver for your printer. If you have the driver disc or want to use
Windows Update to install the driver, you may select either of those options instead.
NOTE: For basic/test printing, the Generic Manufacturer and Generic/Text Only printer
should be valid in most cases.
If you are asked to keep the existing driver and if it is known to work, then keep it and click
Next.
6. Assign a name to the printer. If you would like to use it as your default printer, select Yes and
click Next.
7. If you would like to share the printer, select Share name and assign it a share name. Otherwise,
click Next.
8. On the next page, you may request a test print. This is recommended, as it will verify that the
printer setup is correct. If it is not set up properly, review the settings and try again.
NOTE: If the client disconnects from the Server, the printer will have to be set up again the next
time the client connects.
