The next window of the Add Printer
Wizard will ask if the printer is connected
to the local computer or to a Network
Printer Server.
Select “Local Printer” unless the printer
that you are selecting is attached to
another PC or accessed via an NT or
2000 server. De-select the box marked
“Automatically detect and install my Plug
and Play printer.” Click Next.

This window asks for a printer port to be
selected. If the printer is attached to a
local port on the PC, select “Use the
following port” and select the appropriate
Parallel (LPT) or USB port from the pull-
down menu. Click Next. Skip to Step 9.
In order to access the printer over a
TCP/IP network, a new TCP/IP port must
be created. Click the radio button next
to “Create a new port,” and select
“Standard TCP/IP Port” from the "Type of
Port" pull-down menu. Click Next.
