Shared Printing
You can use Microsofts Point and Print or Peer-to-Peer methods to share a printer on the network with a USB
or parallel cable connection. To use one of these methods, you must first share the printer and then install
the shared printer on client computers.
However, if you use one of these Microsoft methods, you will not have all the Dell features, such as the
Status Monitor, that are installed using the  Software and Documentation CD.
NOTE: Windows 7, Windows Vista and Windows XP Professional require that you have administrative
access to share a printer.

To check that the printer was successfully shared: Ensure that the printer object in the  Printers folder shows it is shared. For example, in Windows 2000,
a hand is shown underneath the printer icon.
Browse My Network Places  or  Network Neighborhood . Find the host name of the server, and look
for the shared name you assigned to the printer.
Now that the printer is shared, you can install the printer on network clients using the Point and Print
method or the Peer-to-Peer method.
Install the Shared Printer on Client Computers
Point and Print
This method is the best use of system resources. The printer server handles driver modifications and print
job processing. This lets network clients return to their programs much faster.
If you use the Point and Print method, a subset of software information is copied from the print server to the
client computer. This is just enough information to send a print job to the printer.
On the Windows desktop of the client computer, double-click  My Network Places or  Network
Neighborhood .
1.
Double-click the host name of the print server computer.
2.
Right-click the shared printer name, and then click  Install or  Connect .
Wait for the software information to copy from the print server computer to the client computer, and
for a new printer object to be added to the Printers folder. The time this takes varies, based on
network traffic and other factors.
