i have patched a network printer (IP printer) and installed driver on 1
machine. I want all pc's in the workgroup network to access this printer
without needing any other PC to be turned on. When I went to install the
printer as a network printer on another pc in the workgroup it couldn't find
it. What is the procedure to install IP printer on all PC's independant of
sharing?
 
The key is adding it as local printer. This link may help,

i didn't find an answer in that link. This is a workgroup of just two pc's. I
tried to install the network printer as I did the first one but in browse for
printers the 2nd PC couldn't see it. Is this a glitch or am i missing
something? Also, Will this install a network printer in a workgroup on all
PC's? >>My Computer > Tools > Folder Options > View >Tick "Automatically

Do what Robert Lin told you to do - install as a local printer. The
rough technique is:

1. Install printer drivers on each computer.
2. Go to the Printer Control Panel applet and Add New Printer.
3. Choose Local Printer>New Port>TCP/IP.
4. The TCP/IP Wizard will start. Put in the printer's IP address. Finish
with the TCP/IP Wizard.
5. The Add Printer Wizard will continue and your printer will show up in
the make/model printer list. Select the correct one and finish the Wizard.
