Printing from a Network Computer using a Shared 
Printer
If you set the printer up as a shared network printer, you will be able to print directly 
to the printer from any computer on the network.
If you want to use the printer as a shared printer, perform the following 
configuration. In this section, the computer that is directly connected to the printer is 
called the print server, and other computers that access the printer over the 
network are called client computers.
