Mainly there are two ways of adding a printer 2 your computer…most command method is to attach your printer to LPT1 port and install a printer…this is also known as local printer…

The other method is to attach a network printer…this is mostly used in domain environment ever u get 1 or 2 printers for the whole department…

When your adding a network printer there are 3 options…in this article I’ll be explaining you how to connect to a printer over the intranet…

To do this client computer must fulfill these requirements

1)client computer should have IIS installed

2)it should be connected to a network(workgroup or domain)..

First add a new printer to your server machine or to your printer server…once your installing give a share name for the printer and share it..eg”HP840c”

Next step is to configure the client

In the client computer go to internet explorer and

first type http://localhost and verify that u have installed IIS…

once ur sure tht u hav IIS installed type

http://yourservername/printers/yourprintername/.printer

if can’t correctly remember your printer or when u have installed several printers u can type  http://yourservername/printers and view all the printer attached to your server

once you have selected your printer click connect…then Windows Xp will automatically install the printer in your server to your client machine

Now your done installing your printer….see how easy and user friendly it is…you jst have to know your server name and type it in your web browser…this is easy as browsing the net…

Once u have installed u can use the same URL(Uniform Resource Locater) and manage ur printer…

Microsoft Outlook 2003 is the best mail client I have ever seen…here are some very use full tips for u…

Add a Shortcut for Creating a New E-mail

First of all create a shortcut and direct it to Outlook…eg” "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\OUTLOOK.EXE"”…

Once u have finished creating the shortcut right click and go to properties..

In the target text field after closing quotation mark add /c ipm.note switch…make sure u keep a space between the quotation mark and the / key..click apply and close…once u double click it it’ll open new email windows..u can simply drag and drop it to ur quick launch bar and save ur time..so when ever u want to write a mail u don’t want to open outlook and click new mail u can just click ur quick launch bar shortcut and access it..

Here are some other switchers u can use

Creating a New Note = /c ipm.stickynote

Creating a New Appointment =/c ipm.appointment

Creating a New Journal Entry =/c ipm.activity

Creating a New Contact = /c ipm.contact

Creating a New Task =/c ipm.task

Start from a selected user profile = /profile, (After comma keep a space and give the profile name)
As I have mentioned earlier u can create customized shortcuts to carryout certain task of Microsoft Outlook without opining the main application…

Furthermore for these shortcuts u can add different inbuilt Outlook Icons too

Select ur Outlook Shortcut right click and go to properties..select change icon..
