Printer Sharing issues

When one activates printer sharing to other servers on a local network, are the other workstations meant to have immediate access to printing, or do they have to install the printer's supported drivers?

Thanks.

If I am not mistaken, you still need to go to the other workstations of your network and install a printer but, instead of using "Local Port", you would use Network printer and let Windows find it. If it doesn't find it is because you have a different WORKGROUP name for your network on the other computers.

Hi,

I managed to solve this printing issue, I had password protection on the server's printer sharing. ^^' didn't see that.

Thanks anyways.. :)
