EXAM TIP Windows-based printer sharing isn’t the only game in town.

Apple’s AirPrint functionality can be used in conjunction with its Bonjour

Print Service (installed separately, or along with iTunes) to share a printer

connected to a Windows system with AirPrint-compatible macOS and Apple

iOS devices.

Installing a Network Printer

Setting up network printers in a typical SOHO LAN doesn’t require much

more effort than setting up local printers. When you try to install a network

printer, the Settings app or Add Printer Wizard will scan for any available

printers on your local network. More often than not, the printer you are

looking for will pop up in a list (see Figure 26-32). When you select that

printer and click Add device or Next, Windows will search for drivers. If you

need to, you can pick from a list of available drivers or use the disc that came

with the printer. Either way, you’re already done.

If Windows fails to find your printer, you’ll need to configure the network

printer manually. Every version of Windows includes multiple methods of

doing this. These methods change depending on whether you are connected

to a domain or a workgroup.
