Techie help?

So, is there a way to install a printer on a PC from a network without using the Install Wizard? Because I have the printer name and server, but the installer isn't recognising them and I know they're right. And no-one here can remember how to do it.

*sighs* This is why I hate using someone else's computer - you have to set up everything all over again. But they are supposed to be dismantling our cubicles today, so...

Yes

Assuming Active Directory's in use, go to Start, then Run, then type in \\.

From that window, find the printer you want. Right-click it, pick Connect.

Done.
