The network ports quick setup utility offers a very simple method to add or remove a print server’s printer port from the client’s computer.

To install a new print server on the network, you must run the quick setup utility first. This program will search for new print servers and allow you to add the new network printer port into a client’s computer. Perform the standard Add Printer procedure (see page 31), then you can print directly to the printer through the newly installed print server. Figure 4-30 displays the Network Ports Quick Setup screen.

During the client’s installation procedure, the system will automatically search for all print servers on the network. Figure 4-28 displays the list of available print server ports.

Please be aware that Network Ports Quick Setup screen (see Figure 4-30) can only detect and configure print servers on the same network. It cannot search and configure print servers on other subnets across network segments. You must use the Remote Ports Utility described in Section 4.3.2 to manage remote (across network segments) print servers. Table 4-2 describes the parameters in Figure 4-30.
