how to connect network printer
Installing a network printer locally can only be achieved by a local network administrator, given that only administrators can make changes to most networks.  Fortunately, however, this is an easy process.  Installing a network printer is achieved through the 'Add Printer' wizard, which can be found under the Printers option in the Settings tab in Windows.  Follow the instructions through the installation wizard, taking care to select the correct driver from the installation disc when prompted (or from its location on the shared network), ensuring that you have unselected the 'Automatic detect' setting.  This should then enable any permitted user from that workstation to access the printer.
