Step 3 - locating the printer

Windows now needs to find the exact printer we are after. This can be done in 3 different ways but the easiest for us is simply using the "Browse for a Printer" option.

Instructions:

In the "Add Printer Wizard" "Specify a Printer" window select "Browse for a printer".
Click the "Next" button in the bottom right corner of the window.



In the "Add Printer Wizard" "Browse for Printer" window, select the printer you wish to use.
Click "Next" in the bottom right hand corner of the window.



Windows will now automatically retrieve the required printer drivers from the computer which is currently sharing the printer. You will be warned about printer drivers possibly containing viruses. To be safe you can run anti-virus software on the computer sharing the printer. Once you have accepted this fact you can click "yes" to proceed to the next step of the "Add Printer Wizard".
