你们中的许多人告诉我们，您的家庭网络中有使用Windows XP的计算机，并且无法从这些 PC上安装和使用网络打印机。^{(network printer)}为了提供帮助，我们将向您展示如何使用打印机的驱动程序安装设置从^{(driver installation setup)}Windows XP PC安装连接到^{(Windows XP PC)}Windows 7计算机的打印机。

首先，您需要从制造您的打印机的公司的网站下载并安装Windows XP 驱动程序。^{(Windows XP driver)}对于我的旧佳能 PIXMA iP2000^{(Canon PIXMA iP2000)}，我使用了这个驱动程序^{(this driver)}。

许多驱动程序被打包为档案。将它们提取到硬盘上的某个位置。

然后，转到您提取它们的位置并搜索setup.exe文件。

当您启动它时，系统会询问您是否同意许可协议^{(license agreement)}，然后等待驱动程序自行安装。

安装驱动程序后，系统将要求您连接并打开打印机。确保在连接打印机的网络计算机上完成此操作。^{(network computer)}由于打印机没有直接连接到您的Windows XP 计算机^{(Windows XP computer)}，您需要手动选择它所连接的端口。因此，单击任何显示“选择打印机端口”的^{('Select printer port')}框，然后单击允许您手动选择端口的按钮。

然后，您将看到一个包含一长串端口的窗口。浏览^(Browse)到列表的末尾，您将实际看到来自网络的计算机和打印机。选择连接到您要使用的网络计算机的打印机，然后单击^{(network computer)}下一步^(Next)。

驱动程序的安装向导^{(installation wizard)}应该结束。某些设置会询问您是否要在关闭之前配置某些设置。完成后，您将在打印机和传真^{(Printers and Faxes)}列表中看到新安装的打印机。

此外，新安装的打印机将被设置为默认值，您将能够使用它。

注意：^(NOTE:)为了使安装工作，您需要确保Windows 7和Windows XP计算机之间的网络共享和发现设置^{(network sharing and discovery settings)}已打开。有关详细信息，请查看Windows XP 和 Windows^{(Between Windows XP and Windows)} 7计算机^(Computers)之间的共享指南。

结论

此示例是使用旧的Canon PIXMA iP2000打印机及其最新的Windows XP 驱动程序^{(Windows XP driver)}制作的。驱动程序设置^{(driver setup)}的界面会因制造商和型号^{(manufacturer and model)}而异。但是，原理是一样的。驱动程序设置^{(driver setup)}将无法检测到打印机，因为它没有安装在您的 PC 上，您需要手动选择端口或它所连接的 PC。

Install a Network Printer from Windows XP Using the Driver Setup

Many of you told us you have home networks with computers using Windows XP and cannot install & υse a network printer from those РCs. In order to help, we will show you how to іnstall a printer connected to a Windows 7 computer from a Windows XP PC, using the driver installation setup оf the printer.

First, you need to download and install the Windows XP driver from the website of the company which manufactured your printer. For my old Canon PIXMA iP2000, I used this driver.

Many drivers are packaged as archives. Extract them somewhere on your hard disk.

Then, go to the location where you extracted them and search for a setup.exe file.

When you launch it, you will be asked if you agree with the license agreement and then wait for the driver to install itself.

Once the driver is installed, you will be asked to connect and turn on the printer. Make sure this is done on the network computer to which the printer is attached. Since the printer is not directly connected to your Windows XP computer, you will need to manually select the port to which it is connected. So, click any box that says 'Select printer port' and click on the button which allows you to manually select the port.

Then, you will see a window with a long list of ports. Browse to the end of the list where you will actually see computers & printers from the network. Select the printer connected to the network computer you want to use and click on Next.

The installation wizard of the driver should end. Some of the setups ask if you want to configure certain settings before closing. When done, you will see the newly installed printer in the Printers and Faxes list.

Also, the newly installed printer will be set as default and you will be able to use it.

NOTE: in order for the installation to work, you need to make sure that the network sharing and discovery settings between the Windows 7 and Windows XP computers are turned ON. For more information, check out this guide on Sharing Between Windows XP and Windows 7 Computers.

Conclusion

This example was made using an old Canon PIXMA iP2000 printer and its latest Windows XP driver. The interface of the driver setup will differ depending on the manufacturer and model. However, the principle is the same. The driver setup will not be able to detect the printer because it is not installed on your PC and you will need to manually select the port or the PC to which it is connected.
