Sharing the printer and using it on a network
Several computers connected to a network can share the printer connected to one of the computers.
To share the printer, set up the printer as a shared printer on the server or host (the computer
connected to the printer) and install the printer driver on each client or remote system (computers
other than the server).
Clients able to share the printer will vary depending on the version of Windows you are using.
When a document is printed by the client system to a shared printer, a printing message (status or
error message) will be displayed on the server system.
Setting up the printer for sharing
1
On the Server system, on the Windows taskbar, click [Start], point to [Settings], then
click [Printers] (Windows XP: On the Start menu, click [Printers and Faxes]).
2
In the [Printers] (Windows XP: [Printers and Faxes]) window, right-click the icon of the
printer you want to share. On the displayed menu, click [Sharing].
If [Sharing] is not displayed on the menu, you need to set up printer sharing in Windows. For details,
see your Windows user documentation.
3
In the [Printer Properties] or [Printing Preferences] dialog box, on the [Sharing] tab,
click [Shared as] or [Share this Printer].
