Judy, a member of the IS team at Golden Goose Supermarkets, is the company's self-designated Windows 2000 (Win2K--formerly Windows NT 5.0) tester. She spends a lot of time in front of the server and workstation on which she's installed the latest beta. Other members of the IS department are aware of her enthusiasm, partly because of the cute messages she tapes to the walls ("Bye-Bye PDC" and "Forests and Trees") and partly because she lectures incessantly about the need to prepare the company's NT 4.0 system for upgrading.
PROBLEM
Mike is the IS department's printing maven. Yesterday, a new printer arrived for the accounting department. This network printer has a NIC and requires no computer hookup. Judy left Mike one of her infamous notes, scrawled in lipstick across his office door. The note said, "Think TCP/IP." Mike agrees that installing the printer on the TCP/IP protocol is a good idea, because the company is planning to move to Win2K (which is TCP/IP-centered). What steps does Mike have to take to install a TCP/IP printer?
