Take the 2-minute tour ×  Here's my situation: I am a consultant
and just arrived at client's location where they have a network
(Active Directory, etc.). Is there any way for me to connect to
their printers on the premises given the IP addresses?  What
needs to be done? Options?  My laptop is on a totally different
domain and not connected at all to this company.  Do I need to
get assigned another PC that is configured for this company's
domain to connect to their printers?  Any advice will be greatly
appreciated.  share|improve this question  2 Answers 2    1.
Download the basic drivers for the printer from the
manufacturer.   2. Use the Add Printer wizard in Windows   3.
Select a local printer, not network   4. Create a new port and
select Simple TCP/IP as the type   5. Enter the IP address   6.
Complete the wizard by selecting the drivers you had downloaded
and extracted in step 1.  If it doesn't work, the printer may
require a special port type or have additional security
settings. In that case, contact
