How Do You Install An XP Network Printer On Windows Vista?
A network printer is a printer that is shared by multiple computers that have been connected together via router, switch, or other networking device. Installing a Windows XP Network Printer to a Vista computer is possible through the use of the Add Printer feature embedded into the Vista operating system. This will allow you to auto-detect and configure the XP Network printer, allowing it to function with your Vista machine. Click “Start” and open the “Control Panel.” Click on “Printers” and select “Add Printer.” Click on the option to add a “Network Printer.” Select your XP network printer from the list of available network printers and press “Finish” to install it to the Vista computer.
