The server could be a Novell NetWare 3.12 or 4.11 server or a computer running Windows for Workgroups 3.11, Windows 95, 98 or NT 4.0. Sharing the printer in this configuration is a low cost, easy way to share a printer because it requires no additional hardware or software. The HP 2500C Professional Series printer can be shared over a network with this configuration. However, it is recommended only for a small workgroup where there is a small number of users or limited usage is low as the shared computer will be slowed down when many users print to its shared printer. 3
