5. Open the Printers folder in Control Panel to see whether the new printer
has shown up. Right-click the printer, select Properties, and under the
General tab, click Print Test Page to try it out.
If you have a lot of PCs on your network (or a lot of printers) and you??™re not
sure where each one is connected, there??™s another way to set up a remote
printer:
1. Open the Printers folder in Control Panel, and click the Add a printer
button on the toolbar.
2. In the Add Printer window, click Add a network, wireless or Bluetooth
printer.
3. Wait while Windows searches for ???available printers.???
When the printer you want appears in the list, highlight it, click Next,
and then follow the prompts to complete the wizard.
4. If your printer never shows up, click The printer that I want isn??™t listed.
On this next page, you can type the UNC path by hand, as described
earlier in this chapter, or you can select Browse for a printer to show
the old tool used in earlier versions of Windows. The browse window is
a nonstandard collapsible tree, from which you??™ll need to navigate to the
remote printer you wish to install. Navigation is a little different here
than in Explorer; instead of the usual plus signs, you??™ll have to doubleclick
branches to expand them. When you??™ve found the printer, highlight
it and click Next.
5. If the printer still doesn??™t show up, go back to the PC to which it??™s connected
and troubleshoot the problem there.
