Adding a Printer to my Print Server Failing
- by Rudi Kershaw
So, on the Windows Server page I read the following.
Step 4: Add Network Printers Automatically
Print Management (Printmanagement.msc) can automatically detect all
the printers that are located on the same subnet as the computer on
which you are running Print Management, install the appropriate
printer drivers, set up the queues, and share the printers.
To automatically add network printers to a printer server Open the
Administrative Tools folder, and then double-click Print Management.
In the Printer Management tree, right-click the appropriate server,
and then click Add Printer. On the Printer Installation page of the
Network Printer Installation Wizard, click Search the network for
printers, and then click Next. If prompted, specify which driver to
install for the printer.
So, I have got to this point, made sure the printer (Canon MP620) is on and correctly plugged into the network. However, when I click "Search the network for printers", the wizard doesn't find it. Now, I can't get any further. Is there anything I could be doing wrong? How should I proceed moving forwards?
