Setting Up for Shared Printing
You can share your new printer on the network using the Drivers and Utilities 
CD
 that shipped with your  printer, or using Windows Point and Print or peer-

will not get features such as the stat us monitor and other printer utilities, 
which will get installed with the

If you want to use the printer on a ne twork, share the printer and install its 
drivers on all the computers on the network.
