Network printer setting up

How do you setup a network printer connected directly into network ?

I setup a Panasonic network printer a while ago, just followed instructions, was quite easy & worked. I installed software on each Pc, then checked/changed IP settings on printer. This worked quite easily.

Can't remember how this network printer shows in Print options when printing from Pc. I think it had been set as default when I installed software.


I need to setup another network printer, Kyocera make, connected directly into network.

Had a quick go, following multilingual instructions, but did not work, so need to refresh my memory on basics.

Thanks

    What does 'does not work' mean? Can you see the new printer visible on the network? Is it set as the default printer?
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)

    It didn't print via network

    Not sure if it is visible, will be trying to get working this afternoon.

    Should network printer be visible as device on network.

    Just realised Windows XP has option to Add Network Printer.
