    Printing from a Network Computer by Sharing the 
    Printer on a Network
    When you share this printer on a network, you can use it as a network printer, 
    which enables printing from other computers that are not directly connected to this 
    printer.
    If this printer is going to be used by multiple computers on a network, perform the 
    following configuration. In this manual, the computer directly connected to the 
    printer is called print server, and the other computers which use the printer via the 
    network are called clients.
