When the printer is shared with some computers (clients) in a network and the print server’s OS is Windows
XP, 2000 or NT 4.0, you can install the printer driver for the client’s OS in the server as an additional driver. This
allows the clients to download the appropriate printer driver from the printer server if necessary.
