to connect to a printserver you have to treat it as a network server with an attached device. here is what you will need: the name of the print queue and the ip address. and a COMPATIBLE printer.
1. goto "devices and printers" in the start menu
2.at top click "add printer" if you do not find it in the device list below.
3.next select "add network printer"
4.next click "stop" then click "the printer i want is not listed"
5.select "add a printer using tcp/ip address or hostname" click "next"
6.select device type and enter ip address i.e. 192.168.0.xxx a window will open and request more
port information click "custom" at the bottom.
7.when sub menu opens select "LPR" then enter the name of the printer queue also check off " LPR byte counting enabled" click "next" you may not need this.
8.next page will ask for printer driver. if the list is not current then try "windows update" first the list will update for more models this will take a few minutes be patient. Or lastly you can try the driver for every model you have. downloading the most current drivers from your manufacturer... select MAKE of printer on left and MODEL on right. then click next
you are done if you can print a test page.
Its best to assign a static i.p to print server and lock this in the setup. also reserve this i.p into your router setup.
