Network Printing |
Windows 2000 Server printing is now integrated with the Internet. To install a printer from the Internet, use the printer's Uniform Resource Locator (URL) as the name of the printer. You can also choose to use the URL format within an intranet. For Windows 2000 Server to process print jobs that contain URLs, it must be running Microsoft® Internet Information Services (IIS).
You can view and manage printers from any browser, but you must use Microsoft Internet Explorer version 4.0 or later to be able to connect to a printer using a browser.
For more information about printing over the Internet, see "Internet Printing" later in this chapter.
