Printing can be done directly to most network printers, without the need for a print server

   • drivers from the manufacturer's CD or web-site often provide better functionality than inbuilt Windows drivers
2. go to Control Panel -> Hardware & Sound -> Device & Printers -> Add a Printer
3. click -> the Printer that I want is not Listed
4. select Add a Printer using TCP/IP address or hostname
5. on next screen
   • enter IP address of the printer
   • enter (arbitrary) port name
6. on next screen select relevant printer driver
7. after installation completes, right click on printer icon and select "Printing Preferences" -> "Advanced"
   • set paper to A4 or A3, as appropriate
