 In order to have the wizard search for printers on the network, ensure that the ''Search for network printers'' is selected and click on ''Next''. At this point the wizard will begin the process of scanning the network for printers. As each printer is detected it will be listed.

 == Installing the Print Server ==
-The first step in setting up a Windows Server 2008 print server is to install the Print Server role. This is achieved by launching the Server Manager, selecting ''Roles'' item from the tree in the left pane and clicking on ''Add Roles''. In the ''Add Roles Wizard'' click next on the ''Welcome'' screen if one appears and then select the ''Print Services''' option. Click ''Next'' and read the information displayed before clicking ''Next'' once again to proceed to the ''Select Role Services'' screen. On this screen a number of different service options are available for selection and installation as outlined in the following table:

-Once print services are installed a number of print management tools are now available on the system. First and foremost is the Print Management snap-in which may be accessed via ''Start -> All Programs -> Administrative Tools -> Print Management''. A useful command-line tool in the form of the Print Backup Recovery Migration tool. The executable is named '''Printbrm.exe''' and is located in ''%SystemRoot%\System32\Spool\Tools''.

 == Manually Adding Network Printers to a Print Server ==
-The preceding section discussed the use of auto-detection to locate and install and network attached printer. This section will cover the manual installation of a network printer. As with auto-detection, begin by invoking the Print Management tool (''Start -> All Programs -> Administrative Tools -> Print Management''), unfold the ''Print Servers'' category from the list in the left pane, right click the local or remote print server to which the new printer is to be added and select ''Add Printer...''. This will launch the ''Network Printer Installation Wizard''. On the initial page of of the wizard select the option labeled ''Add a TCP/IP or Web Services Printer by IP address or hostname'' and click ''Next'' to proceed to the ''Printer Address'' screen. If the type of printer is known (''TCP/IP device'' or ''Web Services Printer'') make the appropriate selection. Alternatively, leave the setting as ''Auto Detect'' to have the wizard identify the printer type. Enter the IP address or hostname of the printer to be added to the print server. The wizard will automatically generate a unique port name to accompany the IP address or hostname. The option is also provided to have the wizard attempt to identify the appropriate driver for the new printer. The following figure illustrates the screen as described:

 Since servers are generally sequestered in climate controlled server room and printers are located in proximity to the users it always seems a little odd to talk about installing printers with are locally connected to servers. That said, it is a topic which needs to covered, and cover it we will.
-Local printers will be connected to the server using either a serial (COM) port, a parallel (LPT) port or a Universal Serial Bus (USB) port. Often, Windows will automatically detect a new printer as soon as it is connected and powered up. In this situation an icon will appear in the task bar indicating that the new device has been detected. Clicking on this icon presents the option to view details about the installation process, resulting in the appearance of a dialog similar to the one illustrated below, where a Brother MFC-420CN printer has been detected and is being installed:

 If the printer is to be shared with network client, set the ''Share this printer'' check box and enter a suitable share name for the printer. This page also allows ''Client-side Rendering(CSR)'' to be configured. When selected, all rendering of print jobs is performed on the client and just the RAW print data sent to the server for printing. This offloads the rendering overhead to the client computers, thereby reducing the load, and increasing the scalability of the print server.
-If Windows fails to auto-detect the printer it may be added manually from Print Management by right clicking on the print server to which the deice is attached and selecting ''Add Printer...''. On the initial screen select the ''Add new printer using an existing port''and choose the port to which the printer is connected from the drop down list. Once selected, click ''Next'' to install a printer driver. if one is already installed, select it from the drop down next to the ''use an existing printer driver on the computer''. Alternatively, select ''Install a new printer driver'' and either select the printer make and model from the list, or use the ''Have Disk'' to install the manufacturer supplied driver. Click ''Next'' to proceed to the ''Printer Name and Sharing'' screen. Choose whether the printer is to be shared and, if so, by what name. Proceed to the summary screen, review the information and complete the installation.
